The rangatahi forum held during the first week of the school holidays was a huge success. Sixteen rangatahi spent four days getting to know each other, having fun, learning whakapapa, gathering kaimoana and lots more. We hope this will be the first of many more to come. A huge thank you to all those who gave their time, expertise and support to making it such a wonderful time for our rangatahi.
