We can not wait to see all of our whanau down at Pae Ora this Saturday and tautoko this amazing event!

💚💚 PAE ORA PARTNERSHIP PĀNUI 💚💚

One of the definite crowd favourites at our whānau days is the crew from Tūhono Taonga, Tūhono Tāngata aboard the Pounamu truck, which offers members of our hapori an introductory look into whakairo pounamu.

We are once again so excited to have them on deck for this years event, make sure you get in fast when you see them as the demand is always huge for this kaupapa!

Mairehau Primary School have just left to go to China for an educational experience. We supported them to create some amazing gifts to take with them. Here is some feedback from their Tumuaki:

"Thank you both again for this fabulous opportunity for our learners. It truly was a highlight, and I know each and every one of our learners and their whānau are very grateful.

Our learners and staff who spent the day with Jon had a truly meaningful experience. The combination of hands-on learning, cultural connection, and thoughtful reflection made it a powerful and memorable experience for everyone involved. Pauline Jansen, Tumuaki - Mairehau Primary School"
