Tēnā koe <<First Name>>,

Kei ngā mana, ngā ihi, ngā whakamataku o te motu, tēnā rā koutou katoa. Tēnā koutou i ō koutou kainga e ūpoko pakaru nei ko ngā uri me o tātou whānau te take. E mihi ana ki ngā Kaiako,ngā kaiawhina, ngā tumuaki me ngā poari e mahi nei i ngā mahi e whai kiko ai ngā tūmanako o ō koutou whānau, ō koutou iwi, ō koutou kura.

Nau mai, haere mai ki te kaupapa o Ngā Kura ā Iwi o Aotearoa

Tēnei te mihi ki a Ngāti Tāwhaki me te kura o Tawera koutou ko Ngati Haka-Patuheuheu me te Kura Māori ā Rohe o Waiohau. E mihi ana ki a koutou kua uru ōkawa mai ki tā tātou kaupapa. Koia nei ngā mana, ngā hapū,ngā iwi me ngā kura e whakatau nei i a koutou ki roto i tā tātou kaupapa, arā ko Ngā Kura ā Iwi o Aotearoa.

NGA RINGA RAUPĀ – E RUA NGĀ TURANGA E WĀTEA ANA KI TE KOMITI WHAKAHAERE (NKAI EXEC)

E rua ngā turanga e watea ana ki te komiti whakahaere o Ngā Ringa Raupā. Ko te tikanga he tumuaki ngā mema katoa o te komiti whaiti. Mehemea e hiahia ana koe ki te tū hei mema o te komiti (NKAI Exec), tukuna tō ingoa ki a Anaterira anaterira@kuraaiwi.nz, a, mā tētahi tumuaki o tētahi atu kura ā iwi koe e tautoko. Pai noa mēnā rā ka imeera te kaitautoko ki a Anaterira hoki e kī ana kei te tautoko kia tū koe hei mema o te komiti. Ka kati te wā e ahei ai te tuku mai i ō koutou ingoa hei te paunga o tēnei marama, te 31 o Māehe.

Ko ngā mema o te komiti whaiti o NKAI i tēnei wā ko Arihia Stirling (Te Kura Māori o Ngā Tapuwae), Cheryl Meek (Te Kura o Waikare), Keremihana Heke (Te Kura ā Iwi o Whakatupuranga Ruamano) rātou ko Heywood Kura (Tumuaki o Te Wharekura o Mauao). Ko te mema tuarima o te Komiti Whakahaere ko te Pou Kōkiri, ko Watson Ohia.

TE TURE HOU ME KELVIN DAVIS

Kāore a Ngā Kura ā Iwi i te tautoko i te whakaaro kia whakarite te kawanatanga i tētahi ture, i tētahi rautaki hei tiaki i ngā kaupapa mana motuhake pēnā i te Kohanga Reo, Kura ā Iwi, Kura Kaupapa Māori me ngā whānau rumaki i roto i ngā kura auraki. He rerekē te horopaki o te whānau rūmaki ki kura auraki, nā reira me whakarite i tētahi rautaki me tētahi ture motuhake hei tautoko i a rātou. E tapiri ana te reta i whakaritea e Ngā Kura ā Iwi hei waha i te take e whakahē ana tātou i te whainga a Kelvin Davis e pā ana ki te ture hou nei.

MoE Bulletin Updates - some key points from the 10 March 2022 newsletter:

- Seven day isolation is the standard now, however, ākonga and kaimahi should not return if they are still unwell.

- Kura cannot require evidence (i.e. Negative RAT or PCR) from kaimahi or ākonga before they return to kura.

Disregarded Sick Leave

If a Kaiako or Tumuaki tests positive for COVID-19, they can request disregarded sick leave for COVID-19 when they return to work. Disregarded sick leave does not apply to sick leave taken to care for dependants or any other form of leave.

All disregarded sick leave applications must be sent to: dsl.covid19@education.govt.nz.

Applications for COVID-19 disregarded sick leave need to include:

employee name, MOE number and school name collective agreement covering the employee’s work (primary, secondary and area school teachers’ and principals’ employment agreements)

start and end dates sick leave was taken due to confirmed COVID-19 infection confirmation that you have evidence of the teacher’s confirmed COVID-19 infection. (This could be a screen shot of a confirmation text when a positive rapid antigen test result is logged on My Covid Record or similar.)

Kura Vaccination Project funding

The NKAI funding for the Vaccination Project has now been transferred to supporting RAT purchases by kura. We hope to receive feedback from Kura who have received funding later in the term.

Rapid Antigen Tests For Kura

Significant numbers of RATs have now been made available to kura, there are some still being delivered but we expect that most kura will have their allocation within the week. It is up to kura to distribute these as you see fit, they are not limited to kaimahi only.

RAT Purchase Reimbursements - Please remember to submit a copy of any receipts for RATs purchased for Kaimahi along with a kura invoice please. We will continue to reimburse purchases made before 14 March.

He pānui tēnei mō ngā kaiako hiahia ki te whakapakari Reo. Ā ko ake nei ka timata ētahi whakangungu Reo Māori. Waimarie tātou kua whakaae mai a Takatū - a Pānia Papa raua ko Te Heketū Leon Blake hei arahi i ngā taumata rima ki te whitu. E hia kē nei ngā tau ka mahi tahi me Takatū.

Nō mātou te whiwhi kua hono mai a TupuOra hei manaaki i ngā taumata tahi ki te wha, ko ngā Mana Whakahaere ko Kingi Kiriona rāua ko Te Waipounamu Teinakore. Ētahi o ngā mātanga Reo i reira ko Paraone Gloyne, ko Rangimarie Ormsby-Teki rātou ko Moana-Aroha Henry. Ko te manako nui ka whakarewa ai tēnei kaupapa hei te wāhanga tuarua o te tau. Kei te haere tonu ngā kōrero whakawhiti ki a MoE kia tau ai tēnei kaupapa. Kia mau tonu mai e hoa mā.

As you may be aware Ngā Kura ā-iwi will be starting our own Te Reo ka rere programme with an expectancy to commence Term 2. This Te Reo Māori PLD is to strengthen the Reo of all teachers from beginners through to the highly fluent.

The model of delivery is largely online, not during school time. Te Reo ka rere will be an opportunity to ensure as many of our kaiako can participate where ever you are in the country whether you are a beginner of Te Reo or advanced. We are looking at Tupuora for our less fluent and Takatū for the more fluent speakers. NKAI are finalising support from MoE. Please keep a close eye on our pānui in the up and coming weeks.

Ngā manaakitanga a te runga rawa.
