Last week, the final stage of the Te Kohekohe community housing development opened in Kaikohe, providing 60 units for those in need of safe, warm, and affordable housing. Far North District Council has documented the journey of new tenants Robbie and Josie in the video below. The couple was ‘overwhelmed’ with joy as they moved into their new two-bedroom home, a much-needed haven after struggling to find housing for their young tamariki. The Te Kohekohe development has been completed in several stages and was done in partnership with your local hauora provider Te Hau Ora O Ngāpuhi, the councils commercial arm, Far North Holdings LTD and Tupu Tonu. Watch the video to learn more about Josie and Robbie’s story and the opening of this final stage. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g5DWGhmj Keep an eye on our page for photos from the Dawn Ceremony held earlier this week to celebrate the opening of Te Kohekohe’s final stage. #FNHL #TupuTonu #THOON #TeKohekohe

🌑 Nā Hina te pō, Nā Hina te Ao 🌕 The maramataka, our Māori lunar calendar, connects us to our tūpuna (ancestors) and their understanding of the natural world. Developed over centuries, it reflects the knowledge of the moon and stars, unique to each iwi and hapū. Hina, the personification of the moon, guides the rhythms of life. Nā Hina, created with artwork from Te Wānanga o Aotearoa and insights from maramataka experts, symbolises our cultural heritage and commitment to preserving traditional knowledge.

Mahuru Māori is a reo challenge that was started in 2014 by Paraone Gloyne as a personal social experiment to broadcast and normalise te reo Māori in everyday life. The challenge? Speak as much te reo Māori as you can throughout Mahuru - no matter who, where, or when, it’s all about te reo Māori. Kick off your Mahuru Māori with this fun kēmu (game)! 🎮 👉 https://lnkd.in/gjcA67y6

🌟 September is Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Awareness Month! This month, we're highlighting one of the most misunderstood yet significantly prevalent conditions - FASD, a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by alcohol exposure before birth. While the main effects impact the brain, alcohol can also affect other parts of the body. To increase knowledge and awareness of FASD, the National Public Health Service Northern Region is hosting a series of free wānanga this month. These sessions will cover what FASD is, why it occurs, how it manifests, and strategies to support those affected using a strengths-based approach.

🌿 The theme for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2024 is here! This year’s theme is ‘Ake ake ake – A Forever Language’. It symbolises the resilience, adaptability, and endurance of te reo Māori, and reflects the ongoing commitment of New Zealanders to embrace and learn our language for generations to come. Under enduring pressure, te reo Māori has shown it will adapt and thrive, growing with our people, our culture, and our environment. As we prepare for Māori Language Week 2024 – Kia māhorahora te reo – let’s make it seen, let’s make it heard. Here are some handy reo Māori phrases you can use when doing school drop-offs 👧🏽👦🏼 - thank you Ako Academy for these reo rauemi! #TeWiki2024 #AkeAkeAke #MāoriLanguageWeek
