The noho is an overnight stay and is the culmination of learnings after three months of workshops on Te Tiriti o Waitangi, Tikanga Māori and Te Reo Māori. The whole process was guided by our wonderful Kaiwhakahaere Donna Barlow-Rolleston from Puawaananga, assisted by her hoamahi Nadine Malcolm at the noho. Ngā mihi nunui ki ōku kaiako. The experience as a whole has helped deepen our team's understanding of tikanga and how we can be good Tiriti partners in our work and personal lives, supporting te taiao. We are beyond happy with the mahi our team put in over the course of this time and look forward to seeing how they continue to develop and grow!
