Registration
The full registration fee for 2008 is $100.00 per person. This fee includes:
- Entry into the Contest
- Marae accommodation for Tuesday 23th, Wednesday 24th and Thursday 25th September
- Meals from Tuesday 23th September (dinner) to Friday 26th September (breakfast)
The part registration fee for 2008 is $20.00 per person. This fee covers entry into the Contests for both days, disco entry and registration pack.
Let us organize your marae accommodation. Marae will be allocated once we know your numbers. Please do not make separate arrangements with Te Arawa marae or we will all get mixed up and grumpy. If you have a strong preference for a particular marae, let us know – we will do our best to secure it for you.
For additional accommodation i.e. Monday and/or Friday evening, add $25.00 (per person) per night. For example, a group staying from Monday through to Saturday will pay $150.00 per person, and a group staying from Tuesday through to Saturday will pay $125.00 per person.
Please contact us for a list of close Motels/Hotels. Rotorua boasts a comprehensive choice of Motels/Hotels. You are welcome to make your own motel or similar accommodation arrangements, although we would appreciate knowing this early.
Our marae will be asked to remain available until 31st August, by which date you will have sent us 50% of the fee. Please make cheques out to 'Te Arawa Pou Ako I Te Reo Inc'.
If you require an invoice for your school’s registration fee, please contact the National Coordinator immediately.
