he mihi

Kia hora te marino kia whakapapa pounamu te moana
Kia tere te kārohirohi i mua i tōu huarahi
Tihei mauri ora!
Ō tātou mate huhua ao i te waiti nei, i takoto mai ai i roto i te kōpū o te whenua
E tika ana hei poroporoaki i a rātou Oti atu i te pō, nau mai i te ao!
E ngā mana,e ngā reo, tukua te mihi ki a koutou
E ki ana, kia whai nei te ara tika mōu ake
E whakateretere ana e ngā pūkenga ki ō rātou moemoeā
Te wawata o te tuhinga nei
Nō reira rā,
Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tatou katoa!

May the calm be widespread
May the ocean glisten as greenstone
May the shimmer of light ever dance across your pathway
I sneeze the breath of life!
To those who have passed beyond the veil
Residing in the womb of Papatuanuku
We bid farewell, as we return to the living
To all authorities, voices, the many alliances and affiliations... we acknowledge you
It is said, ‘seek out the pathway that is right for you’.
We aspire to navigate, guide and empower talent towards positive pathways for the future
Greetings and salutations to you all!
