    Kia hiwa ra, Kia hiwa ra … Kia Ora Whānau,

    Ngā mihi nui o te Tau Hou ki a koutou katoa.

    Our Ratana Playground & Whānau space would love to share with you all the start of it’s first phase of development with our ‘Civil Works’ team early this morning, along with a karakia whakamoemiti from Uncle Jack 🙌🏽 to kick start a safe & healthy work environment.

    Please note during this time due to heavy machinery and hazardous conditions, can we please keep our ‘Tamariki’ safe by ensuring this area is out of bounds from the construction site until further notice.

    Otherwise stay tune for updates on Our Ratana Playground Whanau space development in the coming months 🥳

    Woohoo 🙌🏽
