Fright Night - 27th Oct

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to all the rangatahi and tamariki that helped us with the Fright Night tonight at the De Luxe Theatre. So incredibly proud of our mahi tonight freaking eveyone out 🙌😂 So cool seeing the kids getting fully into it, scaring each group as they came through and more importantly seeing them having fun ❤️ Awesome opportunities and special events like these are just so needed in our community and we are blessed and fortunate that we can do cool stuff utilising our space at the theatre. 

Thank you also to all the whanau of our rangatahi for their support! It's been a busy couple of weeks in the lead up to today/tonight. Your support is critical and we truly appreciate it. 🙌

Lastly - a huge thankyou to everyone who came out to tautoko the kaupapa as well ❤️ Was pretty cool seeing lots of our college students get involved and other students from the community too. Very cool seeing the parents with their young ones following through as well! Ngā mihi nunui ki a koutou 😍 

If you took some cool pics - please add them below in the comments.

SLANZA - Living Libraries Tour - 13th Oct

Such an incredible tour around waahi tapu today.  The moment we were at the Redoubt and we had a clear view of Pirongia - my heart just sang ❤️ #NōParetekawaAu #SLANZARoK

Visiting these waahi tapu was something I'd wanted to do for a very long time. I'm thankful that the other conference people wanted to attend the Living Libraries Tour too. I'm still thinking about how we could make this a safer space and accessible for others. People do need to know our histories -- how do we ensure people are respectful and honouring those past tupuna too? How do we ensure tikanga is upheld / encouraged when visiting these spaces?  #SLANZARoK
