The devastation brought by Cyclone Gabrielle impacted the lives of many tamariki with disruption to routines, loss and trauma. I was half way through my Diploma in Māori Mental Health and recognised the importance of providing tamariki with support and the tools to rebuild their resilience.
My Mauria Te Pono - Believe in yourself Hauora plan was created focusing on Te Pae Mahutonga and Atua Matua Frameworks to promote physical activity and foster emotional well-being that tamariki could find happiness and stability amidst the chaos and help them feel safe and connected again.

I am so excited and proud of the positive impact Edz and I are experiencing with the boys at Waipukurau School creating these physically active opportunities that are transforming their attitudes towards learning. It’s a bit freakn cool when others realise it and I actually see our mahi printed in the education gazette.
Ngā mihi nui to the kaiako, SNZ, Tū Manawa Sport Hawke's Bay and especially the tama of Waipukurau Primary

Mauria Te Pono - Believe in yourself

Mauria Te Pono: Believing in yourself at Waipukurau School – Education Gazette At Waipukurau School in Hawke’s Bay, ākonga are taking up boxing in a programme that is showing how quality sport experiences at school can boost attendance and engagement in learning.

It had been too long since being around your energy e hoa!! So good to connect again! Could’ve just stayed home but instead making the effort this year to try new things is so rewarding
