NMO Noho Wānanga

A special opportunity for our kaihaka to come together to learn, connect, grow, and strengthen their identity in a safe and supportive environment. Through kapa haka, tikanga, waiata, kōrero, games, teamwork, and shared experiences, our kaihaka build confidence, leadership skills, friendships, and a stronger connection to te ao Māori.

The benefits of noho wānanga include:

• Strengthening cultural identity and pride
• Building whakawhanaungatanga and lifelong friendships
• Developing confidence, teamwork, and leadership skills
• Learning tikanga, reo Māori, waiata, haka, and whakapapa
• Encouraging resilience, discipline, and respect
• Creating a sense of belonging and community
• Supporting positive mental, emotional, and social wellbeing

Noho wānanga also gives our kaihaka the chance to step away from everyday distractions, connect kanohi ki te kanohi, and create lasting memories while representing our kaupapa with pride.
