Matariki Evening
Thank you to all the families who joined us for our Matariki evening. It was wonderful to see everyone coming together to connect, celebrate and share in this special occasion.
This year’s theme, Matariki herenga waka, focused on inclusion and bringing people together. Our evening reflected this beautifully, with whānau and our community celebrating together in the spirit of connection, belonging and togetherness.
