To assist teachers, Waimakariri Libraries have a feast of resources available to help teachers feed students who are hungry for knowledge.
Waimakariri Libraries would like to invite your school to participate in our Te Wiki o te Reo Māori celebrations.
We would love for your kapa haka group to perform a 15-minute set alongside our regular storytime sessions, helping to promote and celebrate the use of te reo Māori within our hapori.
If your group is interested in participating, please let us know which date(s) work best for you by email.
To help us plan the sessions, it would be great if you could also provide the following information:
How many tamariki/rangatahi will be performing?
Will you be bringing any additional tamariki/rangatahi to attend as an audience?
Do you have any accessibility requirements we should be aware of?
Will you require a microphone, speakers, or any other equipment?
Will your group be staying to attend the storytime session after your performance?
Would you like us to introduce your group, or would you prefer to introduce yourselves?
Will you be arriving by bus or walking?
Please feel free to include any other details that would help us support your visit. We look forward to hearing from you.
