Kia ora whānau,
We hope you’ve all been staying well in your bubbles through Alert Levels 4, 3 and now 2!
Our kaimahi have been hard at work as they continue to tautoko the region’s response to COVID-19 & Delta Variant.
Amongst all this mahi, we’ve still managed to find some time to celebrate our rangatahi as future leaders of tomorrow!
Earlier this year we asked Mataatua rangatahi aged 16-24 to share their thoughts in our five-minute youth survey. The survey covered a range of topics, which will be used to inform our research team over the coming months, surrounding what our rangatahi think!
A whopping 1078 rangatahi made their voices heard through this survey, and to say thanks, we had a range of prizes, big and small, as giveaways.
Throughout lockdown we chose three major prize winners:
AYZIA KING STOWELL, was our lucky winner of a brand new Xbox, PUTIPUTI KORENA TIMOTI, won herself a PS4 and KAIORA SMITH took home a sparkly new iPhone 12 pro!
