Tumuaki
Ko te kaha o te kaihautūtanga ko te pūtahi o te tōpūtanga angitū, a, kaore a tātou kura e rerekē hoki. Nō reira ko koutou ngā tumuaki ngā kaihautū e whakarite ana me pēhea te whakahaere tō kura, e tautoko ana me te arataki nga kaiako kia eke pānuku rātou.
Ka tūkotahi tātou me ngā tumuaki, a ka hiahia hoki ki te tautoko i a rātou kia eke pānuku me te tū hei kaihautu rātou. Titiro ki raro ki ngā rauemi kei a mātou hei awhina i ngā wero mōtuhake mō te mahi Tumuaki.

Mana Taurite | Fair's Fair
