Matariki !

Matariki is the Māori new year. It's a public holiday and in 2025 lands on Friday June 20th.

Most years MNS celebrate Matariki with a hāngī. Sarah Macintosh has been the champion of this, but it's a huge community effort. It's a beautiful way to learn more about Te Ao Māori, and to connect with other families from our school.

Roles

There are lots of ways people can contribute, such as:

  • working with sponsors
  • picking up supplies
  • peeling some vege
  • preparing the food trays
  • tending the hāngī fire
  • distributing hāngī orders

How to join

Stay tuned for how you can help this year!
