Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini:

The 2nd term is over and what an exciting and fun term it has been. The above quote we have used is to rightfully capture the multitude of people who have supported us during this term. Whether it be our trips to various schools, contributing to the centre through koha, aroha, and manaaki, and through assisting staff with expectations for your tamati/tamariki kete matauranga. No matter how large or small, your contribution has been much appreciated. To all the staff of Matariki, there have been many changes throughout our programme in the last two terms yet you have all persevered with absolute vigour. Therefore, to all staff, tamariki, whanau, extended whanau, teachers of Paroa (Whaea Kim, Mrs Ogilvy), teachers of Tawera (Whaea Hiria, Whaea Diane, me tana kaiawhina) and the teacher of Taneatua (Colleen Medwin), ngaa mihi kia koutou katoa.

The following photos are of some of the events and activities that the tamariki have been involved in these last couple of months.
