Ngā Taiohi Toa Ki Otautahi

19/11/2023

Kia ora e te iwi

It was our first hit out in a few weeks today whanau and what a massive turn out it was. I was impressed with how many of our taiohi showed up and it was awesome to see a few new faces join us too. I'd really like to thank all our parents and supporters who continue to bring your tamariki along on a Sunday to help them find their spark. I understand how hard it can be to attend every Sunday but without you all, this wouldn't be as fruitful as it has been already.
Ngā mihi nui kia koutou katoa✨🌿

Back to our main kaupapa next week, health and wellbeing, incorporating Muay Thai and te ao maori.
Please remember to bring all your training gear whanau as I'll be looking at going through a few new drills to add to our kete.

Have a great week whanau. Looking forward to see you all Ngā Taiohi Toa Ki Otautahi next Sunday 26 November.

Mauri tū mauri ora whanau

We had a massive day today with our taiohi. Started off with karakia and our check-ins. Then we got out and got active with a few games. Also had one of our pou show us a cool game to help us all remember everyone's name 💪🏽 Ngā mihi kia koe Matua Johaan

Massive mihi to our newest member Te Huia Te Waa aka Tee Man who joined us today and gained more than what he expected.
Nau mai ki te roopu o Ngā Taiohi Toa Ki Otautahi Te Huia. We look forward to helping you achieve everything you set your mind too e tama.

Have a blessed night whanau. Got an announcement coming up in a few weeks so keep your eyes peeled for that 👀🥰🎄

Tēna koutou katoa

Last Sunday, we had a deep discussion around bullying. Teaching our taiohi that it's not right to bully people around them. Teaching them the many forms of bullying and how to recognise these toxic traits that have been passed down through the generations of trauma.
Through this korero with them, I learnt that each of our taiohi have their own vision of what bullying looks like to them.

We had an incident a few weeks ago where one of our taiohi was bullied on her way home from school. One thing I don't tolerate is the bullying of others so I made it my mission to have this discussion with our taiohi that this behaviour is unacceptable. We need to look after ourselves first before we can help others whanau.

This is a little sneak peak in how we korero with our taiohi. Giving them the space to breathe and allowing them to have their say because their korero is most important.

Have a great day whanau mā and remember, bullying is a habit that we can all help to break.

Mauri tū mauri ora

Āta mauri aroha e te whanau

I hope everyone has had a blessed week this week. With school holidays nearly over, it's time to get back into the schooling routine. Let's start the term off with a bang and just remember rangatahi mā, ITS THE LAST TERM OF 2023!! 😊😊

Next Sunday 15 of October, we'll be back at Bishopdale School to start smashing our goals out again.
As a collective, we're very proud of how far our taiohi have already come since we've started over 2 months ago.

If you've got whanau or friends who are keen to be a part of our kaupapa, tag them in this post. We're focused on our health and wellbeing incorporating te ao maori, martial arts and whakawhanaungatanga.

Please share, like or comment on our posts whanau. It'll help to get our taiohi recognised and hopefully push our following out to a further audience.

Just a quick announcement

We've been invited to a rangatahi wānanga this weekend based around whakawhanaungatanga and kapahaka. This beautiful opportunity will expose our tamariki to waiata, haka, karakia and so much more.

It's going to be educational and fun and we can't wait to get out there and do some more mahi on ourselves.

Massive mihi to TĀNE TE WAIORA WAITAHA WHAKARURUHAU for creating such a beautiful space for our rangatahi to come together to gain some valuable mātauranga Maori.

Also a big S/O to the YMCA Wainui Park Camp for supplying such a beautiful venue as well.

Looking forward to seeing our taiohi smash out more goals this weekend whanau.
Have a mana blessed day and remind those you love that you love them.
