Tēnā koutou.
Dr Terry Ryan and the Rehua Board of Trustees are looking for any stories and/or photographs for a book documenting the history of Rehua Māori Apprentices Hostel and Marae in Christchurch. The period of time is from 1952 – present day. The history will include the establishment of the Ngāi Tahu Council of Elders and the period of time that Rehua was a girls’ hostel, boys’ trade training hostel, the opening of Te Whatumanawa Māoritanga o Rehua wharenui and Hemo-te-Raki wharekai, rugby, kapahaka, trips, Rehua Marae services, the kōhanga reo, the Rehua Old Boys and the connections between the Canterbury papatipu rūnaka and Rehua.
