Karaka mai manu tītī
Taki mai manu weka.
Tū teitei te mauka nui
Te mauka Aoraki.
Rere atu te wai o Waitaki
Ki ruka te mania pākihi whakatekateka o Waitaha.
Tū mai Kāi Tahu
Kāti Mamoe
me Waitaha nui tonu
E tū, e tū, e tū
Tīhei mauri ora
Ka nui te mihi aroha ki a koutou katoa. Hai ārahi i te mahi i tēnei tau, me te whai i te reo Māori. E te hunga mate ki te hunga mate, e te hunga ora ki te hunga ora, tēnei tātou te hunga ora.
Nō reira e te whānau whānui, kia mau kia ita kia kore ai e karo kia pupuri! Kia ora tātou.
Health days
Health days will finish for the year with the annual Christmas party on 12 December. We have had a great year and it’s a real pleasure to have kaumātua here on a regular basis. We haven’t yet decided a start-back date for 2014 but all existing kaumātua will get a pānui mailed out to advise. If you are in the Gore District and think you would like to come along next year, please phone the office and we will assist in getting you here.
Office housekeeping
The office will close for Christmas on 20 December. If you require anything please ring and leave a message or email [email protected] as these will be cleared on a regular basis.
The office will reopen on 6 January. All Hokonui staff and whānau wish everybody a safe Merry Christmas and New Year.
