✨ Ngā Whetū o Matariki mā Puanga ✨

From the very beginning, I knew I wanted this project to be shaped by children’s voices, creativity and whakaaro.

Matariki mā Puanga is about connection — to each other, to our communities, to those who came before us, and to the hopes we hold for the future.

Partnering with Frankley School | Te Kura o Kahikatea was an easy choice. Frankley doesn’t just teach Matariki mā Puanga — they live the values behind it. Their commitment to te ao Māori and to upholding Te Tiriti o Waitangi in the way they educate and nurture tamariki is something truly special.

As a Tangata Tiriti, it has been both an honour and a privilege to learn throughout this journey under the guidance of the Frankley whānau.

A special thank you to the incredible kaiako Anna, Geraldine and Jess. Teachers truly are heroes. The patience, commitment and awhi you show our tamariki every day is nothing short of inspiring.

Thank you to Frankley School, Centre City and every child who contributed. Together, you’ve created something really special — a celebration of community, connection and the spirit of Matariki mā Puanga.

✨This year, the tamariki of Frankley School | Te Kura o Kahikatea have been entrusted with the taonga of sharing their understanding of Matariki mā Puanga with the wider community of Ngāmotu.

Ngā Whetū o Matariki mā Puanga is a large-scale collaborative installation created by every student in the kura. Through creativity, learning and connection, the tamariki have explored the stars of Matariki and Puanga, bringing their ideas together in a powerful collective artwork.

This installation reflects the voices, experiences and aspirations of our next generation, and we are proud to share it with our community.

Over the coming weeks, while the exhibition is open, we’ll share more of the whakaaro, stories and inspiration behind the artwork.
