Ka mahuta a Matariki i te pae, ka mahuta ō tātou tūmanako ki te tau.

When Matariki rises above the horizon, our aspirations rise to the year ahead.

With the time of Matariki passing in the holidays, it is a time to refresh and a time for a fresh start. As we move from the long dark days of winter, Matariki is a signal of the warmer days ahead.

Mānawatia a Matariki; to honour, acknowledge and welcome the Māori New Year.
