WĀNANGA RECAP – WHAT A WEEKEND! ❤️🔥
Wow… what an incredible weekend it has been for our roopu! 🙌
Our Wānanga was filled with learning, laughter, connection and beautiful moments shared together as one whānau. 🫶
We want to take a moment to acknowledge and thank everyone who helped bring this kaupapa to life…
✨ To our Committee – thank you for all the behind-the-scenes mahi. The planning, organising and effort did not go unnoticed. We appreciate you all so much!
🍽 Okeroa & our beautiful ladies – thank you for the yummy kai all weekend! Keeping everyone well fed and happy, we are so grateful for you all.
📚 Our tutors – Heleena, Kowhai & Curtis – thank you for leading our Wānanga and sharing your knowledge of Māori tikanga. Your guidance and passion is truly inspiring.
🎯 Rangi – thank you for bringing the fun with your amazing games! The energy and laughter you created was everything!
🔥 Bernie & Mike – thank you for cooking up all the delicious meats, keeping our bellies full and spirits high!
Most importantly, thank you to our whānau who showed up, got involved, and made this weekend so special. This is what it’s all about – unity, culture, and connection. ❤️💛💚
We are so proud of what we’ve created together and can’t wait for the next one!
