Ko Ranginui he korowai ki tōku whare tapu o Matariki
Ko Papatūānuku te wharikitanga o ngā kupu kōrero
Ko a rāua tamariki he kaiwhakaruruhau mātou i te ao i te pō
This is our Ngāti Whakatere marae, Whakewehi, also known as Poutū Pā
Ko Te Ao Kaparangi te maunga
Behold our sacred Mountain Te Ao Kaparangi
Ko Manawatū te awa
Blessed by the waters of the Manawatū river.
As it flows past the sacred lands of
Whakawehi Marae
Ko Tūrongo te Whare Karakia
Where the church of Tūrongo stands
Poutū te Whare Tupuna
Beside the ancestral house Poutū
Ko Whakatere te iwi
For Whakatere are the people.
Ko Te Whare Kākano he timatanga whakaheke
o te reo tapu o ngā Matua tupuna.
Mai nga maunga teitei ki nga awa whānui.
Anei nga uritapu o nga mataawaka
e whakatau nei, e whakatau nei.
Haumi e, hui e, taiki e.
Te Whare Kākano is a bi-lingual pathway delivering Mātauranga Māori Education to all year groups. Tamariki engage in Te reo māori me ona tikanga with an emphasis on oral language and sharing a te ao Māori lens. We teach and learn through inquiry, waiata, karakia, cooking, mahi toi, games and literacy sessions. Ko te AKO te waka no reira nau mai haere mai!
