When You Miss Out, You Just Create Your Own! 💖 Our Raukura Hapori team knows how much our Kaumātua look forward to connecting and celebrating. So, when some of our whānau missed out on registrations for a big event, our team didn't hesitate—they went and created their very own Raukura Kaumātua Games Day!

This day was filled with friendly competition, shared kai, and genuine manaakitanga—a space where our elders could simply relax, connect, and have fun. Thank you to all the beautiful souls who came out and made it so special!
