On behalf of all of us here at Te Kete Hauora o Rangitāne, we want to acknowledge and celebrate our very own Kaia Walker-Waitoa and the incredible season she has had with the Manawatū Cyclones.
Although the season came to an end following their semifinal, there is so much to be proud of. Kaia has continued to show determination, strength and commitment throughout the season and has been making her mark on the field with an impressive try-scoring streak! 🔥
Kaia, we are incredibly proud to have you as part of our Te Kete Hauora whānau. The same dedication and manawa you bring to your mahi is reflected out on the field. Your journey is an awesome reminder to our whānau and especially our rangatahi of what can be achieved when you continue to show up, work hard and back yourself.
“Whāia te iti kahurangi, ki te tuohu koe, me he maunga teitei.”
Seek the treasure you value most dearly; if you bow your head, let it be to a lofty mountain.
Ngā mihi nui ki a koe, Kaia.
We are so proud of you! 🤍💚💜🏉
