Matariki 2021 - Māori New Year

To celebrate Matariki in 2021, the theme picked was ‘Ngaa takahanga oo Hiwa-i-te-rangi, the lifestyle of a wishing star’. One of the kaupapa (intentions) for celebrating Matariki each year is to engage our staff and communities, no matter their heritage, towards a deeper understanding of the story of Aotearoa. This year the theme is about dreams and aspirations, planting a seed today for a brighter tomorrow.
