Po mārie Scotlands hostel whānau
Good evening Scotlands hostel family

This week is Te Wiki o te Reo Māori (Māori Language Week)
Under the theme Ake, Ake, Ake – A Forever Language, the 2026 focus is Te Reo Towns - a celebration of the communities who have kept te reo Māori alive, and an invitation for all of Aotearoa to help it flourish into the future.
Te Reo Towns is about recognising the many communities already leading the way, while encouraging others to take the next step. It celebrates the kura, sports clubs, businesses, marae, whānau and communities who have woven te reo into daily life for generations. it is about building a future where te reo Māori is normal, visible, and valued everywhere.

Tonight we embraced Te Wiki o te Reo Māori with 2 of our juniors, Amaia and Honey-Leigh blessing our food with a karakia kai and the wonderful Cater plus team preparing a delicious hangi, with all the trimmings and steam pudding.

Recently one of our amazing Scotlands hostel Nanas Dale, was awarded
The Caltex Good Sport award at the recent 2026 NZSS Premier Girls’ tournament.

Reading through the nominations, there were numerous comments relating to Dales commitment towards the New Plymouth Girls High School Fist XI as she went above and beyond as their manager, cook, tournament mum and number one supporter. Dale wasn't just focused on the wins, but instead she cared deeply about each and every person in the team. She also made sure she went to all of the girls games and updated the parents who couldn't be in Taupō. Her genuine love for the game and her willingness to help anyone who needs it, is what makes Dale amazing.

We also think Dale is wonderful and appreciate all that she does for our hostel and our girls.
Thank you Dale ❤
