Newsletter #6 - Term 2

Kia ora koutou, this is our final newsletter for Term 2.  We wish all our whānau a restful and rewarding holiday.

Matariki will be rising during this period so this is the perfect opportunity to reset and do all those preparations for the beginning of a new term.

Matariki ahunga nui The great mounds of Matariki

Matariki is a time when food like kūmara are stored in large piles and shared among friends, whānau, and the wider community. This whakataukī speaks about manaakitanga, sharing food, and being together with loved ones.

We remind you of our hāngi on Monday 17 July.  This is our way of showing our manaakitanga, and once again bringing together our whānau.

Thank you to those families who have donated potatoes and kūmara.  We gratefully receive these.  Any other donations will be accepted up to the end of this week.
