Ka tangihia ngā mate huhua o te wā. Hanatū rā ki te kāinga wairua i te rangi, okioki mai rā. Te pito mate ki te pito mate. Te pito ora ki te pito ora.Tēnā tātou.Tēnā tātou i runga i ngā tini āhuatanga o te wā. Ko te tūmanako ia e ora ana koutou. E kore rawa te puna aroha e māhiti.Tēnā tātou katoa.

Te Whatu Manawa Māoritanga o Rehua Trust wish to advise that Rehua Marae will be closed for repairs and renovations from Monday, 20 April until the end of August. This work is being led by Andy Ruruku with a group of ‘old boys’ (former Māori Trade Trainees) from Te Kaihanga and Rehua Hostels.

Due to the level of work to be completed, and for health and safety measures, the meeting house and dining room areas will be out of bounds for all public; we wish to offer our apologies for any inconvenience.

Te Koti Te Rato office for Rehua Marae administration, Te Kaitaka Tupuna o Rehua (kaumātua services) and offices for Te Puni Kōkiri, Te Rūnanga o Wairewa, Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd, and Te Waipounamu District office for kōhanga reo will remain open for normal business.

Karakia for this closure will be held on Sunday, 19 April, which will be incorporated with Haahi Ratana at 11am.

We wish to express our thanks and gratitude to the many supporters and whānau who have utilised Rehua Marae for the past 50 years, and we look forward to an opening soon after the renovations have been completed.
