Ngohe 2 - Te Wairua o Te Kura


Āta tātari i ngā āhuatanga whai rawa, taiao hoki i roto i te mahi 

He aha tēnei mea te wairua o te kura (school climate)?

He āhuatanga whai take, he āhuatanga ahurea (unique) hoki. Ko te rongo, me te wairua ka rongo nei koe i to kuhunga tuatahi ki taua wāhi. He wairua pōhiri i te tangata, he wairua whakawehi rānei.He wāhi haumaru, he wāhi koakoa?
Ko te pūtake ko ngā whanaunagtanga ki waenganui i ngā kaimahi/kaiako me ngā tamariki me o rātou whānau. Ko te ako me te whakaako i roto tonu i te kura. 

E kiia ana ko te kura toiroa, wairua hāpai te kura whai uratanga e tautoko ana i ngā rongo o te tangata kia noho haumaru te tangata a wairua, a hinengaro, a tinana. 
Ko ngā uaratanga o tō mātou kura;

  • Wairua Aroha - me aroha ki te tangata ahakoa ko wai.
  • Ngākau Mahaki - kia ngakau mahaki kia mauri tau.
  • Tangatanga Te Reo - kia maringi noa mai te reo rangatira penei i te pata rewa.
  • Toa ki Te Tākaro - me whai kaha ia tamaiti ki te whakaatu atu i tana ake toa.
  • Hinengaro Koi - me whai i te matauranga kia koi te hinengaro, kia whanui te whakaaro.
  • Pukumahi - me pukumahi ahakoa te mahi, me whakapau kaha kia tutuki.
Ma te mahi tahi o te whanau, nga Kaiako, me nga tamariki ki te kawe me te whakaatu i enei uaratanga e totika ai te wairua o te kura. 

He aha tenei mea te ahurea kura (school culture)?
Stoll (1998) states that "Culture is the “glue” that holds everyone together, and can be seen as a positive development force".
Ko nga kura kaupapa maori, nga wharekura, me nga wananga te whakatinanatanga o enei korero. Engari ko te kapia e whakakotahi nei ia tatou o Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Kawakawamaitawhiti me tona whanau - ko te reo o Ngati Porou. Koia tera te whainga nui o te kura i taukitia e nga pakeke o te whanau otira o te rohe o Matakaoa i te whanautanga mai o tenei taonga.
'Hei whakaora i te reo o Ngati Porou me ona tikanga.'

Kei raro i te korowai o Te Aho Matua a ko tona hoa haere ko nga uaratanga e ono o te kura. Āpiti atu ki ērā ko ngā waiaro tika, me te whanonga tika. Koinei tō mātou whakaaro ahurea (cultural responsiveness).

Ko tetahi atu mahi e rongonuitia ana tenei takiwa, a matou tamariki hoki ko te takaro, ara te takaro Ki o Rahi, Whutuporo, Riiki, Netiporo, Kirikiti, Poitukohu, Whai Kingi he aha noa atu he aha noa atu. Huia katoatia enei ahuatanga, ka puta ko te ahurea o to matou kura. He takoha to tena to tena hei tuku mai ki te kohua nui o te kura. He whakaaro ahurea (cultural response) e hāngai ana ki tēnei takiwā me ngā hapu, iwi o roto.

Ma tou rourou ma toku rourou ka ora te iwi.
