Ko tā mātau ‘Community of Practice’ ko aku hoamahi ki Te Kura-ā-Rohe o Rerekohu e nohonoho nei i raro i te maunga o Whetūmatarau, ki te rohe o Te Araroa, ki roto o Ngāti Porou. He Māori te nuinga ā mātau tamariki. Nā te kore mahi i konei, ko te taumata o tā mātau decile, ko te 1. Ko te painga o Mind Lab, kua rapua he aronga hou i waenganui i a mātau anō.  Kātahi ka puta mai te kupu ‘Collaboration’ arā ko te (Mahi Ngātahi). Kua timataria te mahi ngātahi i roto i ngā mahi o Mind Lab ki ngā kura mahita me ngā mahita hoki o kura kē.  Nā tēnā, kua mahi ngātahi mātau i te taha o Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o KKMT ki Wharekahika.  Ehara i te mahi mo Mind Lab anake, engari kua hou atu te whakahono ki te nuinga o ngā tamariki katoa mo te hākinakina, te kapa haka me te whakamahi i te pī mīere i ia wiki.  Mo ngā kura mahita, ka mahi ngātahi mātau mo Mind Lab ka tika, engari mo te Student Management System e pā ana ki ngā Traffic Lights me te mahi tūturu a te kura mahita.  Kua huakina tō mātau Parent Portal ināianei ki te hāpori, ki ngā whānau o te haukāenga. Ko te hiahia o te whānau ko te whai māramatanga mo tana āhua.  Kua tuku atu te kura i tētahi hononga-ā-rorhiko mā ngā mātua engari tino hē te takotoranga o ngā reta mo rātau, ā, i kore rawa ai ō mātau mātua e taea ai te hono atu ki te portal. Ināianei, kua whakatikahia te hononga mā rātau. Ko te tino whāinga, kia kōrero ai ki a rātau mo ō rātau whakaaro mo tēnei kaupapa.   

Tae noa mai ki tēnei rā, nā āku pīki mahi i te tīmatanga o tēnei tau, he tūnga hou hei DP, he kaitieki i te tīma whutupāoro o Wharekahika, kua noho tōmuri awau i tēnei mahi.  Engari e noho ngātahi tonu ana wērā o mātau kia mutu pai ai ngā kaupapa e toe ana. Kei konei tonu ngā ringa manaaki a ōku hoa mahi ki a mātau anō. Ko te mea hoki, he whakamā ētahi o ngā tāngata tōmuri i ngā mahi, kātahi ka hōhā te haere o wētahi.  Otira, nā te kaha o te mahi collaboration i waenganui i a mātau, ka awhi atu, ka awhi mai.  Akuni, ka tūtuki pai tēnei kaupapa akuni. He tika tā Etienne and Beverly Wenger-Travner, 2015 korero, ‘Communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.’
