Today is Matariki Day - a time to pause, reflect and come together.
It’s a special moment in the Māori Maramataka (calendar) to connect with whānau (family), share kai (food) and honour the past, while welcoming the future.
As the Matariki star cluster rises in the eastern sky, we acknowledge our past, remember those we’ve lost, celebrate the present and look forward to a bright and prosperous future.
Wherever and however you’re celebrating, we wish you a peaceful and meaningful Matariki.
