We've got a hands-on Projects Hui all about seed saving!

Join us for a practical workshop with Harry & Merf, who will guide us through how to collect seeds for veges, prepare them for storage, and replant for future growing. This is a great chance to build knowledge and skills you can take home and use in your own māra.

 After our awesome reconnection weekend it was decided to form a Kaumātua Kāhui to tautoko pōwhiri, tangi and Rūnanga events....come and learn some waiata! We will also discuss Emergency preparedness, Winter wellness and our year ahead! We will plan until Xmas and everyone will leave with a plan/calendar.

Tēnā koutou e te whānau,

As part of the preparations for painting the inside of Mako (13th-16th April), we will be taking down the photos of our loved ones from the walls on Saturday 11th April.

We know these photos hold deep meaning for many of our whānau, so we wanted to open up the opportunity for any whānau who would like to be present during this process.

The photos will be carefully stored and returned once painting is complete.

Ngā mihi nui.
