E ngā karangatanga maha o Heretaunga - tēnā anō tātou katoa!
Whānau - please take time to read this article by our own Te Taiwhenua o Heretaunga Chair, Mike Paku, who commemorates the 186th aniversary of Te Tiriti o Waitangi coming to Te Matau a Māui.
On June 24 1840, Te Tiriti arrived at the mouth of the Tukituki River which back then was located at Waipūreku (Clive).
Mauri Ora ki te Mana Māori!

As Aotearoa marks 186 years since Te Tiriti o Waitangi reached Hawke’s Bay in June 1840, Te Taiwhenua o Heretaunga Chair Mike Paku reflects on the promises made, the losses that followed, and the enduring responsibility to uphold its principles today.

Te Taituarā | We’ve got your back!

Testimony from the uso who will be there at Flaxmere College this Friday 12 June from 4pm - 6pm.

Nau mai, Haere mai!
Let’s kōrero about su***de prevention and break the stigma together. 🤍

Too many of our rangatahi, tāne, and whānau are carrying battles in silence. It’s time to create spaces where it’s okay to speak up, ask for help, and check in on one another without judgment.

Being strong doesn’t mean carrying everything alone. Real strength is reaching out, having the hard conversations, and standing beside those who need support.

Let’s build a culture where our people feel seen, heard, valued, and connected. One conversation, one check-in, one act of kindness can make a difference.

Your life matters. Your voice matters. You matter.
