provides the opportunity for ākonga across Aotearoa to create, perform and lead on professional stages in their region🎭✨

Held at Claudelands Arena in 2025, schools from across the Waikato crafted powerful performances that spotlight the themes that matter most to them — giving young people a platform to express their creativity and their voice.

“I enjoyed being surrounded by others who were also passionate about the creative or performing arts area.” - student, Tai Wānanga Kura.

It’s International Day of Persons with Disabilities
This year’s theme from the United Nations is fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress to create communities where everyone can live with dignity, opportunity, and security.

So today we want to acknowledge and celebrate for creating these communities in the Waikato.

YES Disability Resource Centre supports youth with disabilities and learning differences by empowering them with resources, networks, and opportunities that strengthen their transition journey, development, and overall hauora. 💡⭐

We’re proud to support their I.LEAD social change movement — led by youth with disabilities, for youth with disabilities — creating space for Rangatahi with visible and invisible disabilities to be heard and drive change in their communities. 💬🌟

“The reason I joined I.LEAD is because I want to make a difference” - Jordan, I.LEAD Team Member

It’s World Homeless Day, and we’re shining a light this month on our incredible community partners ensuring people are seen and supported.
Kirikiriroa Hamilton service supports friends and whaanau experiencing homelessness and hardship by offering clean laundry, warm showers, and genuine, non-judgmental koorero. All of this is made possible thanks to their trusty companion, Dan the Van — bringing connection and care to communities across Kirikiriroa.
Since launching in Kirikiriroa Hamilton, Orange Sky has been able to help friends and whaanau doing it tough with over 3,000 free loads of laundry; over 790 hot showers; over 5,300 hours of koorero and connection.
