Matariki

Youth Workshop

Youth Workshop

Matariki signals the Māori New Year. It is a time of renewal and celebration in New Zealand that begins with the rising of the Matariki star cluster.  Matariki is a time to gather with family and friends to reflect on the past, celebrate the present, and plan for the future. The twinkling of the Matariki stars in the pre-dawn sky heralds a special celebration for young and old. Across New Zealand, people come together to remember their ancestors, share food, sing, tell stories, and play music.  Matariki festivities highlight the tangata whenua view of the world. They remind us of the cycle of life and natural ways of marking the passing of time. A family & sensory friendly program to celebrate Matariki has been planned. 

Check out our facebook page for more details.

Lohri & Ethnic Children's Workshop

A big thank you to all our families and children who participated yesterday in the children's vaccine information workshop and lohri. We would especially like to thank our senior community members who volunteered their time and also to our health care volunteers who dedicated their time in the workshop planning. 


Pariwaar New Zealand strongly encourages everyone who is eligible, to get vaccinated, especially children from the 17th January onwards. As presented at the event please refer to this document for your best source of information  COVID-19-vaccines_protecting-your-tamariki.pdf (covid19.govt.nz) 


COVID-19 Vaccine for  tamariki aged 5 to 11 years Parents and caregivers have the opportunity  to protect their tamariki aged 5 to 11 against  COVID-19, by being immunised with a child  (paediatric) formulation of the Pfizer vaccine. The vaccine used for tamariki is a children’s  version of the Pfizer vaccine, with a lower  dose and smaller volume.  Tamariki need two doses of the vaccine to  be fully protected. We recommend these  are at least 8 weeks apart. The interval can  be shortened to a minimum of 21 days if  needed, for example if your child is starting  treatment with immunosuppressants. The Ministry of Health recommends  immunising your child to keep them safe  and to help protect your whānau and  community from COVID-19 


Please contact us if you require any further information.
