Some of our CPCT kaimahi were able to have kai and kōrero this afternoon, and reflect on the mahi we have been doing together in our community over the last year.

What happens when you bring together a group of passionate, dedicated kaimahi who are willing to provide services whatever and however it looks to best serve our community, in the health care sector?

Magic! Magic, positive outcomes and long-term solutions for whānau ❤️

"To the Masters Rugby League community 🌱ngā mihi nunui.

Thank you to every player, whānau member, and supporter who welcomed us into your space, shared your stories, and showed us your ‘why’.

Special thanks to Tamati McGuire and Ellis Tepania for your kōrero, leadership, and passion

Hearing how you look after your hauora, your body, your mind, and your whānau, was a privilege for us at Korowai Aroha.

We came to offer a service, but left inspired. 👌🏽✨

This evening, some of our team braved the weather and enjoyed a fantastic night supporting our hoamahi in her first musical, “Ladies in Black”.

We are very proud of our HCA, Shari for her stellar performance 🤩 We hope that when you looked out into the audience, you saw faces of your Korowai whānau around the room, and felt a sense of aroha, identity and belonging in this new land that you call home. We are very proud of you!

If you haven’t seen the show and would like to, its not too late! Tickets are available at https://www.iticket.co.nz/events/2025/jul/ladies-in-black
