This month we celebrate the Winter Solstice and Matariki, the Maori New Year.
During Matariki we celebrate our unique place in the world.
We give respect to the whenua on which we live, and admiration to our mother earth Papatūānuku.
Throughout Matariki we learn about those who came before us.
Our history. Our family. Our bones. Matariki signals growth. It's a time of change. It's a time to prepare, and a time of action.
During Matariki we acknowledge what we have and what we have to give.
Matariki celebrates the diversity of life. It's a celebration of culture, language, spirit and people. Matariki is our Aotearoa Pacific New Year.
