Beautiful seeing our SWBC Tane giving back to the community and putting a smile on our Tamariki faces. They were encouraged to stay at school, be kind, listen to their parents, and if they ever needed help or someone to talk too, SWBC will be right beside them, ensuring they get the best support from local Health and Well-being service providers.

Giving purpose to our tane to thrive and be happy internally/ externally 💓🙏🏾

Thank you Tainui Full primary for letting us engage with your amazing students. 💓✨

Last week South Waikato Brothers Collective had the privilege of having brother Jeremy HALL from MSD speak to our tane about career pathways, up skilling, and having the right mindset to take on the challenges our community is facing in regards to job losses.

If we can help one tane, that's a win for our brothers 🙌🏾

Building stronger brothers - giving them tools to live a life of freedom and prosperity 💓✨🤝

Note: always a big faafetai to our sis Thelms CEO at Muscle & Curves Fitness Centre for providing our tane a safe place and yummy Kai / coffee.🙏🏾

🌊🏃‍♂️ City to Surf – The Half Marathon Journey 🏃‍♀️🌴
📅 Sunday 09th November 2025

From city streets to sandy shores – the JBWere 21.1km Half Marathon is an adventure like no other. Starting at the Tauranga Yacht and Power Boat Club, runners set off around the scenic Daisy Hardwick Estuary, where the tide glistens and birdlife cheers you on.

The challenge builds as you conquer the Harbour Bridge, rewarded with sweeping views across the water before the iconic Pilot Bay opens up ahead. From there, it’s the famous Mount Maunganui base track, where rugged coastline meets crashing waves, before the final push onto the golden sands of Mount Maunganui Beach.

💡 We’ve listened to your feedback from 2024 and made some great improvements:
✔️ An extra aid station on course at 4kms
✔️ Electrolyte available at all aid stations from 7kms onwards
✔️ An earlier start time to help you beat the heat
✔️ Wave starts to spread everyone out

It’s 21.1km of grit, determination, and pure Bay of Plenty beauty. 💪🌅

A massive THANK YOU to our event sponsor JBWere, who are helping us bring this incredible experience to life. As leaders in wealth management, their support means we can deliver a world-class event for our running community. 🙌
