Mihi 3 – Tipu (Medium)

Kia ora tātou te whānau o Hāto Kēneti e huihui mai nei ki runga i ngā tini āhuatanga o te wā.

Tēnei te mihi ki te kaikarakia mō ngā karakia whakaritea o tēnei rā ki tō tātou runga rawa. Nānā nei te kaihanga ō ngā mea katoa, kati ake.

Ki te whare e tū mai nei, tū mai, tū mai rā hei whakaruruhau i a tātou. Nō reira e te whare whakapiripiri tēnā koe.

Otirā kia tātou te whānau kua tae mai nei, tēnā tātou katoa te hunga whai i te reo Māori me ona tikanga katoa.

Kei te mihi hoki ki te kaupapa e whakakao nei a tātou, tēnei ka mihi ki a tātou katoa i tēnei wā e whakaora ana i tēnei taonga tuku iho.

Nō reira e te whānau, e te kaiako, koutou katoa e āku hoa, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou kia ora huihui mai tātou i tēnei rā.

Nō reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa.
