Mānawatia a
Matariki
Each year our hapori reo celebrates Matariki with a kai , kōrero and whānaungatanga. Each year we celebrate differently, whether it be an early karanga on to the beach, breakfast together, karaoke , dinner or weeding in the maara. Time spent together with our whānau is what we celebrate the most.
