Matariki
During Matariki we celebrate our unique place in the world, we learn about those who came before us, our history and our family. Matariki signals growth, it’s a time of change, a time to prepare, a time to celebrate the future, a time of action and a time to acknowledge what we have and what we have to give. Matariki is our Aotearoa Pacific New Year.
We celebrate Matariki with lots of fun events and activities for the whole whānau including a Matariki service of worship. Events include Waiata Workshop, School Creek Native Tree Planting, Concert and Devonshire Tea, Lounge Concert and kapa haka performance from a local school group.
We partner with Puaka Matariki Dunedin City Council.
‘Generation after generation stands in awe of your work; each one tells stories of your mighty acts.’
Psalm 145
