PUANGA (MORIORI NEW YEAR) CELEBRATIONS

What a week of celebrations our Puanga festivities were! We enjoyed sharing our knowledge of this kaupapa with all those who came through the doors of Kōpinga over the week for the various activities we had, whether it was the beautiful feast put on by T'Chieki Marae, Loretta Lanauze, the hūnau who contributed to our communal mural, the crafty mahine who whipped up healing rongoa in the kitchen, the t'chimirik who entered our colouring competition, our hūnau who came to connect with our trustees at our consultation huinga or our hūnau from afar who joined in the fun with our digital resources.

We would especially like to thank Te Puni Kōkiri, whose support made this week of festivities possible.
