Mihi & Pepeha

Our RSS School Mihi
A pepeha is a way to introduce yourself in Maori, to describe whakapapa (geneology) links to a tribe / area. The RSS mihi is an introduction in Maori that tells the story of how we belong to our community and our School. The children will all learn this unless your family has other tribal affiliations that you would like your child to use.

Ko Ruahine me Tararua nga maunga (Ruahine and Tararua are the mountains)
   
Ko Manawatu te awa (Manawatu is the river)

Ko Rangitane te iwi (Rangitane is the iwi)
   
Ko Russell Street te kura (Russell Street is the school)

Ko Mark Mcrae raua ko Fiona  McConnon oku matua 

Ko Charlotte Mcrae  au.

Tena koutou katoa

  1. Good to see you have your Mihi up Charlotte you need your recording on there and remember to take the bit out that says: The children will all learn this unless your family has other tribal affiliations that you would like your child to use.

    Great start
