On the 20th and 21st of March 2109, an Immersion group of six bilingual ākonga and six supporters/whānau stayed in te whare Titoki on the Homai Campus.
The purpose of this Immersion was to coincide with a performance of The Kuia and the Spider and to continue building on whanaungatanga and connections made at the Motuhake bilingual immersion in 2018.
This was the first Te Reo Māori audio described performance in the world and was held in conjunction with the Auckland Arts Festival.
The ākonga were part of hosting and showing manaakitanga to the Kāpō Māori CEO, actors from the Takirua Company, audio describers and Auckland Arts Festival organisers.
They helped welcome manuhiri to the Homai Campus and being the first students to attend a performance with Te Reo Māori audio description.
Nic Holloway facilitated this Immersion and Kelly Doyle supported. Papa Gavin Reedy was also a vital part of this Immersion.
