✨ Te Pare Kia Mau - Final Wānanga & Pou Unveiling ✨

Kia ora e te whānau,

Our final wānanga for Te Pare Kia Mau is set to take place next month on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st of June. This special weekend will conclude with the unveiling of the pou we have been working on over the last 6 months. Whakapiripiri tahi mai rā!

Here is a quick look at what we have planned:

- Saturday 20th June (Wānanga): We will kick off the weekend by diving back into Ngāti Tauira whakapapa, whakairo, and kōwhaiwhai, alongside activities for tamariki. We will also spend time preparing together for the next morning's ceremony.

- Sunday 21st June (Pou Unveiling): We will gather at sunrise for the official unveiling ceremony of our pou, followed by a celebratory hākari.
