We were lucky to have local tutor, Pania Reiri-Smith to teach the young women the skills they need to stand strong and be positive role models to their peers. Working with Pania was new tutor Carleigh Cocks.
Waiata 1 – Ko Wairarapa Tēnei
Ko Wairarapa Tēnei
Tū ake nei, he karanga ki te iwi
Kua mawehe te pō kia hari rānei
mā te mārama arataki
Kua haere te kapua, kua rere te kōtuku
Māhaki te kōauau e hine e tama
kia mau ki ngā kupu a ngā mātua
hei oranga mō te iwi Māori e
Me waiata te hari me te koa
whakawhetai ki te Atua
Hāpaingia ngā mahi a ngā tīpuna
Auē Wairarapa e
Wairarapa e

Waiata 3 – Papakitahi
Papaki tahi kia rite te takahi
Kia kori to tinana ngawari
Titiro mai ki taku poi e rere atu ra
Mauria mai te aroha
Kia mau te aroha me te mahi tahi
Kia eke nga wawata
Taku poi raupo e rere atu ra
Ki taku aroha
Kia rite, kia rite, kia rite Hi!

Waiata 2 – Ko koe te Rauhiitanga
Ko koe te rauhiitanga
Raahira mai ki a Hurunui-o-rangi
Kua ara, haere mai,
e te taonga o te aroha
Aue te mamae aue te aroha
aue te mamae aue te aroha
Korohiko mai te kaahui maunga
ranitaamiro mai o taatou tipuna
Homai raa te manaakitanga
o te runga rawa, o te atua

Waiata 3 – Pinepine te kura
Pinepine te kura, hau te kura,
Whanake te kura i raro i Awarua;
Ko te kura nui, ko te kura roa,
Ko te kura o tawhiti na Tuhaepo!
Tenei te tira hou, tenei haramai nei;
Ko te Umurangi, na te Whatuiapiti.
Nau mai, e tama, ki te taiao nei,
Ki’ whakangungua koe ki te kahikatoa,
Ki te tumatakuru, ki te tara ongaonga;
Nga tairo ra nahau, e Kupe,
I waiho i te ao nei.
Piki ake, kake ake i te toi huarewa,
Te ara o Tawhaki i piki ai ki runga;
I rokohina atu ra Maikuku-makaka,
Hapai o Maui, he waha i pa mai,
‘Taku wahine purotu!’ ‘Taku tane purotu!’
Korua ko te tau, e
