Kāinga
Pono ki te Kaupapa, Puna ko te Reo
Tapa hūrere pakipaki hau
Pāororo i te rangi
E raro tapu-wai-nuku
E raro tapu-wai-rangi
Huhuti te ika rō wai
Pakaru mai Tangaroa
Ka hora te mana o ika nui
Tupua-horo-nuku
Tupua-horo-rangi
Whanake mai, e Ngake,
Whanake mai, e Tai
Ki te whaiao, ki te ao mārama
Tihei mauri ora!
Taku Ara Whānui
Kua wawe taku kōkiri whakamua ki muri, ka taea e au te tītiro ki Remutaka, ki Pukeatua, ki Maungaraki, ki Korokoro, ki te waha o te ika. Ko te ranga maunga i roperope te rahi i whanake i roto i te ao nei.
E oho rā e te muri wai o ngā tai pahake i matemate noa atu ki te koukouoro o te tai tāngata e kore e huri mai. Uru atu ana ki Mātua-iwi, uru ana mai ki te puna mahara o te aitanga a Tiki, huri atu te pō, nau mai te ao.
Tahuri te reo ki te ranga māia, ara ngā kuia, ngā tauheke i poipoia te hunga ririki mai tā rātou whanaketanga ki te ao nei, ki ngā kōhanga reo, ki ngā kura kaupapa, ki ngā wharekura, tae atu ki ngā whare wānanga, kia ora mai rā ngā rake tihauora.
E pupū te tai ohinga mai Te Ara Whānui Kura Kaupapa Māori o ngā Kōhanga Reo o Te Awa Kairangi ki roto i te ao mārama, e kori tinana mai ki runga o nuku, kei raro o rangi. Koropana atu rā te ahua o whakamā, e te hunga taiohi whaia atu rā ki te ikeike o te kahurangi. Whaia ki uta, whaia ki tai, haumi e, hui e... TAIKI E!

Te Tīmatanga o te Kura
Our Kura is the wawata, from our late kaitiaki Mrs. Keriana Olsen and Mr. Richard Luke. Both were committed to the survival of Te Reo Māori and creating opportunities to promote, practice and sustain Te Reo me ōna nei Tikanga for the future generations.
With the support of all Te Kōhanga Reo within the boundaries of Te Awa Kairangi, the strength that cements this kaupapa was sealed with the physical structures of what we now know as our Kura.
As our Kura lies within the tribal lands and boundaries of Te Ātiawa, it is with respect we acknowledge and practice the kawa of the mana whenua when welcoming manuhiri.
We acknowledge our pan-tribal composition of the Kura whānau and encourage the sharing of kawa me ōna nei tikanga for all iwi.
Updated Rātaka o te Kura effective as of Term 1 - 2024
