A New Partnership |
|
| |
Te Puna PHO is in the process of winding down to make way for the new Te Puna Whanau Ora Network Alliance Limited, which will align Te Puna with Procare, which supports more than half of Auckland’s GPs and their staff. We hope this new journey will help Te Puna to continue to grow and support our community. |

World Smokefree Day |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
We supported the programme – “Me Mutu – Kia Kaha – Give Quitting a Go – You can do it” and marked World Smokefree day with a stall at Takapuna Mall. A few brave and committed people signed up on the day for the low-cost patches, lozenges or gum and we wish them well.

Matariki Celebrations |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
As we approach mid-winter, we also celebrate Matariki, the Maori New Year. Traditionally this was a time to plan for the coming growing season, as well as to spend time together indoors, to learn and to share the food stores which were full after a season of growing, gathering, catching and preserving food.
We hope you will take some time with your family this month to share food, time, stories and traditions – or to create some. These are important occasions for children to enjoy, feel loved and part of a family. |
|
| |
Here at Te Puna we celebrated the start of Matariki with our tamariki and mokopuna, as well as a few guests, at a Kai and Kite Day. Kites were an important part of traditional Matariki celebrations, and Maori were expert kite makers and controllers, so we aimed to revive a little of this ancient art and science. We made eco kites from newspaper and brown paper bags, traditional manu taratahi with natural materials, and had a great big lunch… It turns out kites can be very cheap and fun to make. |

Maori Language Week - 4-10 July |
|
| |
The theme this year is “manaakitanga”.
At its core manaakitanga is about how we make people feel welcome when they are in our company, and how we give regard to and care for others when hosting visitors”, says Chief Executive, Glenis Philip-Barbara. |
