Learning Specialist Assistant

E ngā mana, e ngā reo, ko Te Papa Tongarewa te pā e tūwatawata mai ana ngā taonga o te Motu ki Te Ūpoko-o-Te-Ika. Papaki mai ana ngā tai o Te Whanganui-a-Tara, ko Pukeahu, ko Matairangi ngā taumata korero. Ka tangi te Keo ki ngā mate o ngā hau e whā, moe mai rā te iwi nui kei te pō. Nau mai rā te hunga ora. Tēnei Te Papa Tongarewa e kimi ana, e rapu ana i tētahi pouako kia whanake te kura, kia whai wāhi ai ā tātou tamariki ki ngā taonga o te motu.
