nga kura ki te rapu i te matauranga. Ina pau te kaha ki nga kura o raro tukua ratou ki nga kura o runga atu kia tae ki te mutunga o to ratou kaha. Ki te kore e tutuki i a koutou ratou ki nga kura e tika ana he nui tonu ra nga awhina mo ratou ara awhina moni. Ko nga Apiha Toko i te Ora o koutou rohe etahi kei te mohio ki nga putea moni hei awhina i nga tamariki no reira kaua e wareware ki te korero atu ki a ratou. Tera atu nga awhina ma tatou i a tatou tamariki. Ko etahi o tatou mataku atu ki te eke ki runga i nga komiti whakahaere kura, kaore e haere ki nga hui. Kia kaha tatou ki te haere ki nga hui o nga rohe kura e tata ana ki a tatou whakaeke ki runga i nga komiti whakahaere kura me nga komiti whakahaere hoki i te taha o nga matua o nga tamariki me nga kai-whakaako i nga kura. Kaua e tomuri ki enei o nga mahi, notemea koianei etahi o nga huarahi awhina i a tatau tamariki i a ratou e rapu ana i te matauranga. Mahi tahi i te taha o nga hoa Pakeha kaua ratou e whakatangata-ke-tia. He tokomaha a tatau tamariki kei te haere ki nga hai-kura i enei wa, a e u ai ratou ki reira ma tatou ratou e arahi e awhina. Kaua tatou e whakamanamana ki o tatou hoa Pakeha engari whakahoahoa atu, whakauru atu ki roto i a ratau mahi—notemea na te Pakanga Nui Tuarua taua te iwi Maori i hapai atu kia tata atu ki a ia a ka nui tona pai ki a taua. Ko te Pakeha te kai-homai mahi o te ao hou engari “ko wai ko wai ka tohu” tera pea i roto i nga tau kei mua taua te Maori te pera i a ia ka tu hei kai-hoatu mahi. Koia nei te wawata kei roto i te ngakau kia tokomaha nga Maori hoatu mahi ma nga Tamariki o-Aotearoa a nga tau kei mua. Kei te kaha matou a koutou Apiha Toko i te Ora ki te whai i tenei kaupapa whakahoahoa a kei te whiwhi etahi o a tatau tamariki inaianei ki nga hua o te aroha o nga hoa Pakeha. Ko a tatau tamariki me o ratou hoa Pakeha kei te haere tahi ki nga kura kei te whakahoahoa ratou ki a ratou na reira kia kaha ano tatou ki te awhina i tenei ahuatanga. Ma te matauranga ka whiwhi te tangata ahakoa Maori Pakeha ranei i tetahi mahi tika, e riro mai ai i a ia he whare pai mona tae atu ki nga mea mo roto—ka pai hoki te noho a tana wahine me a raua tamariki. E kore e wareware i a tatou nga mahi pai me nga tikanga pai a taua a te Maori kei te mahia i enei wa i tena wahi i tena wahi kei reira te Maori e noho ana. Ahakoa i roto i nga taone kei reira e mahia ana nga mahi katoa e mau ai to taua Maoritanga. Kei te kaha etahi o tatou kei nga Kura Wanaga ki te ki atu ki nga mangai whakaako a te Kawanatanga tae noa atu ki to tatou Minita Maori Pirimia hoki kia whakaakona to taua Reo Maori i roto i nga hai-kura he tamariki Maori kei reira, kati ko te tumanako o te nuinga noa iho kia tuturu tenei ahuatanga. Koianei tetahi o nga tino taonga a taua a te Maori ko to taua reo kia kaha taua ki tenei taonga kia kore rawa e ngaro. I roto i a tatau awhina i a tatau tamariki ki te rapu i te a mataura-nga akona ratou ki etahi o nga taonga o to tatu Maoritanga hei tikitiki mo ratou mahuna i roto te Ao Hou. Hei whakaoti ake i enei korero me whai i nga korero whakamutunga a te koroua ra a ta Apirana ki tana mokopuna ara “Ko to Wairua ki te Atua nana nei nga mea Katoa.” I nga ra i mua atu i te taenga mai o te karakia Pakeha ki Aotearoa nei he Atua tonu o taua o te Iwi Maori, Otira no te taenga mai o Te Wiremu me ona hoa ki Aotearoa nei katahi ano taua ka mohio ki te Tokotoru Tapu ara ka huri taua te Iwi Maori ki te Hahi Karaitiana. He maha nga hahi o Aotearoa i roto i te Ao Hou nei, engari kei te whakapono katoa ki te Tokotoru Tapu i raro i nga Hahi tokomaha o Te Ao Pakeha. Ahakoa he aha te Hahi i raro i nga hahi tokomaha o Te Ao Pakeha. Ahakoa he aha te Hahi i raro i te Tokotoru Tapu Tapu kia kana ki te mau i a tatou tamariki ki tera taha nui tonu o tenei Ao. Meinga ratou kia whai i te Ropu Karaitiana kia haere ki nga mahi a te Hahi, kia whakamoemiti atu hoki ki te Kaihanga te Kaihomai o nga mea katoa.
