A beautiful and moving Matariki Dawn Ceremony at Te Kūiti Pā this morning.

Karakia and karanga were held to welcome the Māori New Year and to acknowledge our loved ones who have passed on. The ceremony was followed by an amazing hangi breakfast prepared by Ngāti Rōrā.

A special thank you to Ngāti Rōrā and Te Nehenehenui for partnering with us to host the event.
