Ngā Pīwakawaka o Mahurangi Te Reo Support Rōpū
More experienced whānau in our rohe often feel isolated when it comes to being able to share their reo, needing to 'use it, not lose it', while others are wanting to know more and are first time learners. Our rōpū builds whānaungatanga and offers support for all. Ako atu, ako mai.
