Me he manawa tītī, me he kuaka mārangaranga. Ko te reo rāhiri, ko te reo pōwhiri e karanga atu ana ki a koutou ngā tītī, ngā kuaka, ngā manu tawhiti kia whai wāhi ai koutou ki te whenua haumako, te ākau mātauranga o Aotearoa, a ko te Whare Wānanga o Otāgo. Tēnā, karapinepine mai, whakarauika mai. Ahakoa tō awhero, ahakoa tō wawata he wāhi hāneanea mōu, he ara whakamua mōu hei whakatutuki i tēnā tāu e hiahia ai. Mēnā ka whai tohu koe ki Te Kete Aronui, ki te Ture, ki te Pūtaiao, ki te Hauora, ki te Tauhokohoko rānei, ahakoa te kaupapa he wāhi mōu, he tohu mōu. Ko te ringa āwhina ka toro atu ki a koutou, ko ngā pou taunaki ka whakaakoria, ka ārahia, ka tautokona koe ki te rere atu ki ngā karamatamata, ki ngā kōtihitihi o te ngaru mātauranga nei.
