Matariki huka nui (remembrance) for those off-site

Kia ora koutou,

As part of our Matariki celebrations, we invite everyone, whether on or off campus, to participate in Matariki Huka Nui, a special opportunity to remember and honour those who have passed.

🕊️ What: Reflect on loved ones who have passed, write their names, and decorate a star in remembrance.

🌌 Where: The physical space is set up in Pounamu (Atrium, The Hub), but for our distance kaimahi and ākonga, we’ve created an online version.

📅 When: Available all day from Monday, 16 to Monday, 23 June.

🔗 Add to the online remembrance board here: Matariki huka nui

🕯️ Please note: The online space will be opened by Karakia on Monday, 16th June at 9.30 am by our Māori Chaplain, Te Ata Roy. Please feel free to join our team's hui by using this link
