Happy birthday to everyone celebrating recent birthdays.
Ngā mate
To all our whānau suffering the loss of loved ones at this time, Waihao Rūnanga extends our deepest sympathy.
Te reo classes
We have had a very positive response from both whānau and the local community to these weekly classes and currently have over 20 signed up.

He karanga atu tēnei ki ngā wāhine e hiahia ana ki te whakapakari i tō rātou reo karanga. A series of Karanga wānanga will be held at Waihao Marae on the following dates:
