Careers Day with MUMA Rangatahi Tū Tonu 💪

A recent trip to Lifeskills Training+Education Māngere gave our rangatahi the chance to meet some amazing people face-to-face (kanohi ki te kanohi) and learn more about employment opportunities in their local area and beyond. It was really great for our young ones to see the potential avenues and support systems available to them, and hopefully give them a go one day!

Ka tika me mihi ki te Whānau o Lifeskills Training+Education Māngere - Ka rawe ngā mihi a koutou!

Not all heroes wear capes! 🦸 If you are in the Waikato region and can't get to a voting station, there are support systems in place to ensure you still get your say in this year's election ✅. Get in touch with the team at Electoral Commission NZ and today to sort out the best accessible avenue for you 😀.

Ngā mihi nui ki ngā kaihoe kei te karapu Waka Ama o Māngere Bridge i whakaarahi i te rōpū o MUMA Rangatahi Tū Tonu. Our rangatahi had an epic outing recently, learning about waka ama, water safety, and teamwork on our iconic harbour. It was a blast and definitely a new experience we'll keep close to the ngākau 🛶. We'd like to say thank you to the amazing coaches and experienced kaihoe who came out to teach us the tips and tricks to moving a 12-man through cold winds and cloudy conditions! Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, ēngari he toa takimano!

E whakatinana ana mātou te whakataukī e kī ana, ko au te awa, ko te awa ko au.

Tērā te ope o Rangatahi Tū Tonu i eke waka ki taumata kē! I whai rā pārekareka rātou kia whakahono ai i te rōpu ki ngā mahi ahurea o a tātou tīpuna. He whakapiki pūkenga hoe waka te mahi, ā, kāore e kore i whakatutuki ai rātou i ngā wawata o te rā.

Kīkī ana te ngākau i te hari i te kitenga o ngā mahi whakahirahira kei to tātou awa! Ka tika, mā te wai e whakaora ai i te wairua. Huro!
