Welcome to our Annual Report 2023/24
We are grateful for the wisdom and guidance of our kaumātua Kevin Prime, who gifts us these words about our report’s theme this year.
E nga iwi, e ngā hāpori o Tāmaki o te Taitokerau, tena rā koutou katoa.
Ka mihi rā ki ngā aitua maha kua hinga atu ki tua o te ārai. Kua tangihia rātou, kua mihia, kua poroporoakitia, na reira me kī kua ea. Ki a koutou rā e te hunga mate, haere, haere, haere.
Nau mai ra ki tenei hononga a ipurangi mo te Ripōta Ā Tau a te Kaitiaki Pūtea mo Tāmaki, mo Taitokerau. Ko te kaupapa o tenei tau he mahi ngātahi i raro i te arataki ā ngā rangatahi o tenei rohe. Ko te whakatupuranga hou a tatou kai-ārahi rangatahi e mahi ana kia whakaūngia ki a tātou hāpori kia tūmaia ai rātou i ngā tau e heke mai nei.
Ko te tumanako hoki kia āwhinatia, kia tautokoina e koutou i tenei kaupapa ē, ko ngā rangatahi e ārahi ana i a tātou ā ngā tau kei te haere mai.
Nei rā te mihi ki a koutou katoa kua hono mai i te ipurangi ki te mātaki i tēnei whakaaturanga o te Ripota ā Tau. Kia ora koutou katoa.
