- Karakia for Term 1-
Kia hora te marino
Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana
Hei huarahi mā tatou I te rangi nei
Aroha atu, aroha mai
Tātou i a tātou katoa.
May peace be widespread. May the sea be like greenstone; a pathway for all of us this day. Let us show respect for each other, for one another. Bind us all together.
