A new look is coming to nzmaths! During 2015 we worked with a web design team to develop a new look and structure for nzmaths. Several hundred teachers and facilitators gave feedback as the new design evolved. This new design will be launched to the live site during February, but we thought you might like a preview of what to expect. Click for more information about the upcoming changes to nzmaths. |

E tangi ana te ngākau ki tō tātou kaumātua, ki a Tuteira Pohatu, kua riro atu nei i te ringa kaha o Mate. Haere koe e te matua, e te pou whirinaki o ngā kaupapa mātauranga, haere ki tua o Paerau, ki tō okiokinga mutunga kore, ki konā whanga mai ai i te kauika tangata kua rite mō muri. Ko koe tēnā e te matua kua roa nei e tautoko ana i ngā kaupapa mātauranga, e awhi ana i te hunga whakaū i ngā mahi. Ko koe tēnā i ngā huihuinga o Te Poutama Tau, o Te Reo Pāngarau, o te marautanga tonu, e poipoi ana i ngā tāngata, e whakatau ana i te wairua māhaki kia pai ai te mahi tahi a ngā rōpū. Ahakoa kua ngaro atu koe i te tirohanga kanohi, ko ō mahuetanga iho ka tū tonu, ka tū tonu. Haere koe i tō haere, oti atu ki te kāpunipunitanga o ngā wairua. Otirā, koutou ngā mate huhua o te wā, haere koutou, haere koutou, haere atu rā. With great sadness we farwell our kaumātua Tuteira Blackie Pohatu, who was mourned by many on his tipuna marae at Hiruharama on the East Coast at the beginning of July. Blackie has made a huge contribution to pāngarau and the wider Māori medium education sector over a long period of time. His support, his expertise, his considered comments and his gentle wairua will be sadly missed at future gatherings. |
