Whānau Rōpū

E ngā mana
E ngā reo
E rau rangatira mā
Tēnā koutou.

The Boulcott School Whānau Rōpū was established in 2018 by the amazing Whaea Pania Dewes as a way to create relationships within the community, especially with Māori families, and to celebrate Te Reo (Māori Language) and Te Ao Māori (Māori World View) at Boulcott School.

Our current moemoeā (vision) for the school and our kids is that our tamariki feel that our culture is visible, valued and celebrated, and are given opportunities to engage with te ao Māori at Boulcott School.

Each year we undertake a number of initiatives which include:

• Ensuring Te Tiriti and Ka Hikitia – Ka Hapaitia (Māori Education Strategy) is visible and represented in the school’s strategic plan
• Welcoming new whānau with a Mihi Whakatau 
• Hosting Matariki each year attracting over 300 people
• Fundraising
• Preparing our kids for Hutt Fest
• Kapa Haka for all tamariki
• Gifting a taonga to our Year 6 students as they leave Boulcott School
• Any many more……
