Kia Ora Koutou.
We extend a warm invitation to our Noho Marae at a local marae on Saturday 27th- Sunday 28th July 2019.
Your family/whanau and children are also invited and we encourage this great opportunity if you are keen to learn more of the Maori language and culture.
This will be a great time to experience and learn protocols of the marae;
Enjoy other learning, including some of the history and culture of Ngaati Maahanga; and of course have FUN.

We look forward to hearing from you. Mauri Ora Whanau.

Poll: Do you think this was the right decision?
Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.
At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the council’s Facebook page, where he currently features in three “explainer” video clips about Hamilton’s water services.
Do you think this was the right decision? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
