Te kaitō ā Tūhoe!
Te Puna Ora o Mataatua is a proud sponsor of Te Hui Ahurei ā Tūhoe – an event that attracted thousands of whānau on April 18 & 19.
Hundreds of kaumātua spent time in the Te Puna Ora o Mataatua Kaumātua Zone.
Pēpē and tamariki made use of the shelter in the our whānau zone, and Ora-a-Kapa were on the whenua providing hot and cold inu for whānau across the event.
Rehua Nuku Ora nurses provided health checks and supported the event with first aid support. Ear and eye specialists also supported our mobile health team with assessments.
Te Tirohanga Oranga o Mataatua (Wellbeing Survey)
E MIHI NUI ANA KI A OPEPE TUNA!
Opepe was one of 88 whānau who shared their voices in our ‘Te Tirohanga Oranga o Mataatua (Wellbeing Survey)’ during Te Hui Ahurei ā Tūhoe.
This Survey helps us understand the unique needs and strengths of our Mataatua whānau, so we can align our services to suit you.
Everyone who took part went into the draw to win a brand-new iPhone 16, and Opepe has been drawn as our lucky winner!
Ka rawe Opepe! Nō reira ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa!

He Kōrero mō Te Hui Ahurei ā Tūhoe | About Te Hui Ahurei ā Tūhoe
The first Hui Ahurei was held in Rotorua at Mātaatua Marae in 1971.
This gathering of urban Tūhoe presented leaders with a key opportunity to develop an inter-generational strategy that would see Tūhoe repatriate, revitalize, and reconnect succeeding generations to their traditional homelands, their reo and tikanga, and develop a vision to strengthen the cultural identity of urban Tūhoe.
Te Hui Ahurei is the platform where Tūhoe can facilitate new ideas, embrace new challenges and cultivate traditional values as a people.
It reflects who we are as a people, who we have become, and what remains possible for Tūhoe in the future.
He whītau raranga tangata is what we do on stage, on the sports fields.
He marae tahia is what we do sweeping the past into the future.
Ko te kura nui, ko te kura roa, he kura tangata embraces the new, acknowledges evolution and cultivates traditional values.
