Upcoming Hui & Wānanga
Reconnection Wānanga
We have another Reconnection Wānanga coming up in March. These wānanga are an awesome way for whānau to come and hear about the history of Wairewa, to come onto our marae, meet other Wairewa whānau and learn about Wairewatanga!

Please note, we welcome expressions of interest. Non-local and new whānau will be given priority and those selected will be emailed further details. We will have more dates set in the future to make sure everyone gets a chance to come along!
