Tēnā koutou, e te whānau,
 

Kei aku Rangatira, kei ngā ringa raupī o tō tātou kaupapa huia kaimanawa, nau mai, hoki mai rā. Ko te manako nui i whai wā koutou katoa ki te whakatā i te wā o ngā hararei, ka mutu, e hiamo ana ki te hoki mai anō ki te kaupapa, me te kuhu ki ngā mahi nui kei mua i te aroaro mō te tau 2025.

Nō reira, e te whānau, mauri ora!

Happy New Year, and welcome to 2025. We hope this pānui finds you and your whānau well-rested, re-energised, and ready to embrace the opportunities ahead in this new year.

As we step into 2025, we reflect on the challenges and achievements of the past year. We carry with us the memories of those we’ve lost, whose contributions inspire us to continue the work we do for our tamariki, and whānau.

Kia tōmua te kotahitanga, e tū tangata ai tātou i tēnei ao hurihuri.

This year, we look forward to building on the strength of our whānau and kaimahi. Together, we’ll continue to nurture our tamariki in an environment enriched with love, connection, and a shared vision for the future of Kōhanga Reo.
