We’re better when we work together. 💛

There’s something special about bringing people together who are all passionate about supporting rangatahi. When we connect, share ideas, and collaborate, we create stronger opportunities and better outcomes for young people on the Coast. 🌊✨

The Youth Hauora Network is all about this - building relationships, sparking ideas, and finding ways to do good together.

Because at the end of the day, our rangatahi deserve the very best we can give. 💬🤝

Collaboration. Connection. Community. 💡 Our last hui at Ōrewa College reminded us that when we ask schools what they need → we find powerful answers together.

A huge mihi to Ōrewa College leadership - Principal Wiri Warriner & Deputy Principal James Went - for their openness to community support. 🙏

Not every school has leaders who not only welcome but celebrate external support for their young people. Ōrewa College sets the bar high by valuing partnerships that put rangatahi first.

✨ What happens when schools and community come together?
Magic.

At our September Youth Hauora Network hui last week, we gathered at Ōrewa College to kōrero with Deputy Principal James Went, Principal Wiri Warriner, teachers, and local NFPs about how schools and community can support each other.

From youth workers, coaches, and teachers to gyms and grassroots organisations - the message was clear: our young people thrive when we work together. 💛
