This week, we welcomed Holly Irvine to the tari as our Whānau Voice and Engagement Support. We have a very small team and Holly’s strong commitment and work ethic are already making a difference!
Holly’s energy and enthusiasm is pretty impressive. Outside of mahi and study (she is in her third year of a Bachelor of Counselling at NMIT), she loves waka ama, mau rakau, beach and indoor volleyball, hunting and fishing, CrossFit and the gym.
Holly will be out and about in the community, encouraging and supporting whānau to share their experiences and aspirations for hauora in Te Tauihu via our Whānau Voice universal survey.
Over to Holly to tell you a little more ….
Kia ora, ko wai au?
E tū ana au i te tihi o Maungatapu
Ka matai whakararo ki ngā wai tuku kiri o Maitai
E karekare atu ana
Ki tōku whenua
Taurikura ki Whakatū
E , ko Tainui rāua ko kurahaupō nga waka e tū ake nei
Ko Takapourewa te motu o tōku ngākau
E, ko Ngāti Koata, rātou ko Ngāti Kuia, ko Toa Rangatiratanga, Ko Rangitāne o Wairau ōku iwi
E mihi atu nei
E, ko Whakatū Marae
E tū tonu rā
E ko Kaakati te whare tupuna
Tihei mauri ora
