Donny and Viv your Mana informed response base practice workshops were so informative and enlighten we can’t thank you enough and we hope you return. Also, ngā mihi to Whare Manaaki for hosting the Mawhera workshop.

The rangatahi team have done wonderful mahi ready for the 2023 Career expo today, pop in @ Pakiwaitara building. “Going Inward. Thats the real work. The solutions are not outside of us. Get to know who you really are, because as you search for the hero within you inevitably become one” (Emma Tibbins).

Last week we said goodbye to our special team member Kate Campbell. You will be missed and our team thanks you so much for all you have done for us, and you will be very missed! “He iti kahurangi.”

Ataahua evening spent connecting with whānau and the community. Papakura Wharekai at Arahura Marae was packed with lots of aroha and laughter had by all!

We have two new kaimahi joining our team. Jack Bolton will be working alongside Jerry Pū on the Te Wero Challenge programme and Naomi Le Couteur is joining our Youth Pathways ropu. Rawe!

A new tari for whānau to use to continue their journeys in Te Reo Māori. So special to be alongside this journey and ngā mihi to all those who have supported and made it possible.

Ngā mihi to Lee Toki for a super education session on Te Tiriti of Waitangi today with WestREAP. Great timing for our learning heading into the celebration day next week. “He tōki kōutou.”

Our whānau enjoyed some quality time together in holidays loving te ra and the taiao!

What a privilege it has been to be able to support 26 whānau, 55 tamariki with back-to-school packs. Everyone is so grateful and appreciative with lots of thanks.

What a day! Great weather, great fun and awesome company! Over 100 whānau turned out for a fun filled action packed day with more than 15 trips out on waka for the day.

Check out the new Waka stands at Lake Kaniere!
