Nga mihi
Hi Tama
As I am teaching on Tuesday 1-2 is there any chance you could also offer a Wednesday class.
Many thanks

Mōrena korua,
As a two part answer to your questions, Classe’s will progress through levels as they complete terms, so currently, Tama is developing staff knowledge in Reanga Rua.
At this stage, Tama is only able to offer staff classes on a Tuesday.
Kura Po classes are still available Martin 🙂
