Karakia/Whakatauki
Hutia te rito o te harakeke
Kei whea, te komako e ko
Ki mai ki ahau
He aha te mea nui o tenei ao
Maku e ki atu
He tangata, he tangata, he tangata.
When the heart is torn from the flaxbush
Where will the bellbird sing?
You will ask me what is the greatest thing on Earth
My reply is, it is people, it is people, it is people.
Waiata
Whakataka te hau ki te uru
Whakataka te hau ki te tonga
Kia mākinakina ki uta
Kia mātaratara ki tai
E hī ake ana te atākura
He tio, he huka, he hauhu
Tihei Mauri ora
Cease the winds from the west
Cease the winds from the south
Let the breeze blow over the land
Let the breeze blow over the ocean
Let the red-tipped dawn come with a sharpened air.
A touch of frost, a promise of a glorious day
