The observation and celebration of Matariki is becoming increasingly relevant and important in NZ culture. Very soon we will be enjoying an annual day to acknowledge this important period in the annual calendar.
Matariki signals new beginnings. Manawatia a Matariki, celebrate Matariki! To find out more here are two links that might be helpful https://www.reomaori.co.nz/matariki_2021 and https://teara.govt.nz/en/matariki-maori-new-year.
This year we were able through the help of many in the community to once again hold our Matariki hangi. It was wonderful to see so many of you able to join us for lunch, and to enjoy the performances of our Kapa Haka group.
Thank you for coming, thank you for donating and helping generously both your time and food. We hope and wish for new beginnings and all good things in the year ahead.
