...and as the sun sets on what has been a beautiful day celebrating Matariki here at Taumata School, we want to extend a huge mihi to Hori and the incredible team at Four Square The Lakes.

One of the values celebrated during Matariki is manaakitanga – caring for others through generosity, hospitality and kindness.

Within the Matariki cluster, the star of Matariki is associated with the wellbeing of people and the importance of coming together as a community. Today, we saw that spirit brought to life through the generosity of the team at Four Square The Lakes, who sponsored our sausage sizzle and helped feed hundreds of hungry tamariki, whānau and staff.

We are incredibly grateful for your support. Please continue supporting this amazing local business. They truly are at the heart of our Lakes community.

Hori, tēnei te pīki mihi ki a koe e hoa. Nāu anō mātou i tautoko i ngā wā katoa. E rere atu ana ngā mihi maioha ki a koe, otirā ki āu kaimahi katoa. Tēnā rawa atu koutou!
