On Tuesday we had a wonderful time with rangatahi from Tāmaki College, talking about raising alcohol harm awareness in our community. We walked away with heaps of ideas to engage youth and inform them of the harms of alcohol.

A special thank you to Wiremu for always delivering the goods, and walking through this process with our young people. Thank you to the students from Tāmaki College for spending an evening with us, and sharing your ideas and experiences. We can't wait to share our findings! 💜

On ANZAC Weekend, Sophie was out and about with some of her Waiata Tīoriori class supporting wāhine selling poppies in Mt Wellington and St Johns, and they sang at the Mt Wellington RSA on ANZAC Day.

Thank you Leon and the Mt Wellington RSA for having us be part of the Day Commemorations this year, and doing our bit to remember those who served, and made the ultimate sacrifice, so we can enjoy the freedoms we have today 🎖⚘️⚔️🪖🇦🇺🇳🇿💜
