Ngā mihi nui and a huge congratulations to today’s lucky winners, who received special prizes proudly sponsored by Te Korowai Roopu Tautoko and Te Whare Oranga Wairua, both valued members of the Te Whariki Aroha Collective. Your support and generosity have made this moment even more special!
A heartfelt acknowledgment also goes out to all those who graced us with their beautiful expressions of song and dance. Your performances filled the day with the essence of our culture and reminded us of the powerful role music and movement play in uniting us all.


Lastly, a massive thank you to the incredible organisers and the whānau at Tūwharetoa Settlement Trust and Te Kapua Whakapipi (Te Ara Whakakapiki Ora), whose tireless efforts made this annual celebration of our culture possible. Ngā mihi nui whānau for your beautiful mahi and mana manaakitanga!

Until next year – Mauri ora!
