Tēnā koutou e te whānau i tēnei, Te Mātahi o te Tau.

Ko te wā tēnei e rere ai te kāhui whetū a Matariki.  E kī ana te kōrero, kei ngā whetū e iri ana ngā wairua o te hunga kua huri ki tua o Paerau.  Nō reira, kei ngā mate, haere atu rā ki te paepae o Matariki, o Rehua.

Warm Matariki greetings to you and your whānau.  Matariki (the star cluster that signals the start of the Aotearoa Pacific New Year) is an opportunity for us to pay respect to those that have gone before us, and a time to reflect on the past 12 months.
