Ko Rongotai te moana
Ko Taranaki whanui ki te Upoko o te Ika te tangata whenua
No reira,
Ko Amélie Kelder tōku ingoa
Ko Brian McDermott taku hoa rangatira
Ko Lila raua Ko Oona te Take
Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa.
Ka mahuta a Matariki i te pae,
Ka mahuta o tātou te tau.
Matariki! Kia ora! A new beginning. You may be thinking, we are halfway through the academic year, so why does she talk of a new beginning? But what if today was a new beginning for you too, for us all? Matariki is the time to stop, reflect, refresh. To reflect on our abilities, our challenges, our goals, individually and collectively.
Today, starting with this beautiful welcoming ceremony, I am taking on a new challenge, a new aspiration, a new start.
Matariki would not be a super star without the presence of her sisters. Support or manaaki is what gives us the strength to be who we are and who we want to be. Without the people who brought me here to you, I could not have become your tumuaki. They challenged me, they encouraged me, they listened to my fears, my dreams, my excitement. I would like to acknowledge you all and thank you for believing in me.
Now, as I stand here at St Catherine’s, on the whenua of Taranaki Te Āti Awa, the journey is just starting. I will need each of you to guide me, to share with me how you would like me to support you, support all of us to become superstars. I commit to becoming a tumuaki that supports you, ākonga mā, kaimahi mā, kaiako mā, whatever the situation, and who enables you to celebrate who you are and who you want to be. I commit to working hard alongside you, the board, to make St Catherine’s College the place of faith that celebrates excellence and wellbeing.
Whānau is everything. Any important event or step in your life requires support. E Te Kura o Hāta Katarina, you are well known for your sisterhood. May pono, mana taurite mō te mana tangata guide us always.
Now, it is time to reflect on how we have progressed on our resolutions. We need to think about who has helped us to move forward, and who we might need to continue pursuing our goals?
On my part, I am so looking forward to being part of your whānau, our whānau, a whānau that supports and nurtures each other mō ake tonu atu.
Nō reira, tēnā rā koutou, tēnā rā koutou, otirā tēna tātou katoa.
