Kairuku - Dive Wānanga #1
Kairuku is our new wānanga series Kairuku for whānau aged 12+ who love the moana, swimming and mahinga kai. This wānanga series has been designed to provide more opportunities and access for whānau to be confident in gathering kaimoana here in Te Tauihu. We hope that one day these whānau members will be able to support our marae and our communities through kai gathering.
