This week, we continued our journey of deepening our understanding of te reo Māori and the significance of the Treaty of Waitangi. As a team, we took the time to reflect on our diverse backgrounds by sharing our personal stories—where we came from, and how our heritage has influenced our path to Aotearoa.
For some, this was a moment to uncover and share fascinating insights about their lineage, and for others, it sparked a curiosity, inspiring them to dig deeper into their family history and discover more about how their ancestors arriving in New Zealand.
It was a great opportunity to engage in conversation about the Treaty and to start exploring and reflecting on what it means for us all today and what it meant for Māori and non-Māori at the time.
To finish on a fun note, we capped off the session with another lively round of Kahoot, combining learning and enjoyment to reinforce the knowledge we have gained!
