Āe, it’s late and our tamariki are (hopefully) fast asleep, but Children’s Day deserves a little extra aroha before it ends❤️

Every day we celebrate our tamariki, and those who weather every storm for them. To acknowledge the kaupapa, we’ve got some nīti prizes and competitions suitable for the whole whānau, so keep an eye out.

Ngā mihi nui e te whānau

Last Thursday we were honoured to gather at Matai Whetū Marae for our Toi Ora ki Uta, Toi Ora ki Tai wānanga — and what a beautiful day it was.

We were privileged to host a wonderful turnout of kaumātua of Te Uru Kahika alongside Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Maru, coming together in connection, learning and hauora. The karetao performance by Taowaru — James Webster and Hinemoa Jones brought our treasured taonga to life, weaving story, sound and mātauranga that resonated deeply with everyone present.

Through shared kōrero, health support and cultural connection, the day truly reflected our kaupapa — bringing hauora services to our people, for our whānau, by our whānau.

A heartfelt thank you to Matai Whetū Marae for your manaakitanga, and to all who attended and contributed to the wairua of the day. It was special to see our kaumātua uplifted and supported in such a meaningful space.

We look forward to continuing this journey together across our rohe
