Opening Karakia

Tukua te wairua kia rere ki ngā taumata
Hai ārahi i ā tātou mahi
Kia mau kia ita
Kia kore ai e ngaro
Kia pupuri
Kia whakamaua
Kia tina! TINA! Hui e! TĀIKI E!

Allow one’s spirit to exercise its potential
To guide us in our work
Take hold and preserve it
Ensure it is never lost
Hold fast.
Secure it.
Draw together! 
Affirm!
