3 He Tāhuhu Kōrero Mai anō i tōna orokohanga e 35 tau ki muri, neke atu i te 40,000 ngā ākonga kua puta nei i Te Kōhanga Reo. Tokomaha rātou kua noho mai hei kaiārahi i Te Ao Māori, hei kaikōkiri rānei i ngā Kaupapa Māori. E ora nei te Kaupapa o Te Kōhanga i tēnei hunga, inā hoki, ko rātou kei te tuku i ā rātou tamariki ki ngā kōhanga reo huri noa i te motu. Ki tā Te Kōhanga Reo, he nui ngā hua ka puta inā whakahuihuitia mai ai tēnei hunga, me ō rātou pūkenga, kia whai wāhi tonu ai rātou ki te Kaupapa. Nō kona i puta ai te whakaaro kia whakatūngia tēnei uepū mō ngā ākonga o mua. He Manu Pīrere nō Te Kōhanga Reo Te Kōhanga Reo Alumni Foundation Te Kōhanga Reo established the new alumni foundation He Manu Pīrere nō Te Kōhanga Reo as a future framework for sustained engagement between, and greater opportunities for graduates of Te Kōhanga Reo and their Whānau. The term Pīrere is a literal translation for birds who leave or have already left their respective nest, which in this case refers to graduates of Kōhanga Reo language nest. The second part of the name, nō te Kōhanga Reo seeks to reaffirm the place from which these graduates took flight, the Kōhanga Reo that nurtured them, and as a means to encourage continued involvement with the Kaupapa itself. He Manu Pīrere was launched in November 2017 in Hamilton during the Nōku te reo, Nōku te ao Expo. It is part of the innovative framework acknowledging the many graduates of Kaupapa through the new Alumni foundation and the revised scholarships distribution programme. No reira e ngā Manu Pīrere nō Te Kōhanga Reo, nau mai, hoki mai ki te Kaupapa.
