Te Matai – Te Kura a Iwi o Tapuika Graduation at Ngati Moko Marae

Tumeke whanau! What a great graduation in the wharenui, such an awesome setting to see your tamariki support their parents. Great roll reversal seeing parents receive tohu in front of their tamariki.

Kia ora to all Tapuika whanau for putting on the day, (and the kai). Thanks to Te Ururoa Flavell for attending and his positive words of encouragement for whanau to extend their IT skills. Also the facebook wero, did anyone respond?

Big ups to Kuini for her mahi as trainer and her awhi in putting it all together.

Whakatohea Graduation

Whakatohea whanau have completed their training with a graduation at the Whakatohea Maori Trust Board in Opotiki.

Thanks to Don Titoko for carrying out the training duties over the 10 weeks of training and also Louisa Erickson from the Trust who initiated the programme and supported it all the way. But most of all a big "Kia ora" to the 19 whanau who went through the training and by the sounds of it had lots of fun.

Ka mau te wehi whanau!

Congratulations to Te Whanau o Ngati Rangataua.
What a wonderful evening for all those involved in holding a Computers in Homes programme at the Marae.
A big ups to all the participants who graduated and also a big thanks to Kelly and Makuini for taking up the roll of trainers.
Whanau completed the 20 hours training over two weekend wananga.

We were able to connect the Marae to broadband through the help of Whakatane's GONet WiFi network.
