Te Rēhia - Rangatahi targets high need communities where rangatahi would not normally have access to school holiday programmes. Attendance is consistently high even when local rangatahi have to walk themselves to Porirua Whānau Centre. Activities include plenty of sports, kyaking, hiking, māori games, swimming, hangi, adventure outings, outdoor skills like gathering kai, guest speakers and more.

‘Te Rēhia - Tamariki’ provides two full weeks of fun and engaging activities including daily swimming lessons from Dash Swim School at Cannons Creek Pool. These lessons provide our tamariki with vital skills on water safety and survival and help our tamariki become confident swimmers. Other activities include sports with local sportspeople, traditional Māori games, walking, fun outings to Te Papa, Awesome Bounce and Junglerama, and hands-on creativity with cookie baking, arts, and crafts.

My Sons have been a part of the Te Rēhia Holiday Programme for the past 2-3 years. Both of my sons are extremely shy, with one of my sons having anxiety. As a parent it has been amazing watching them learn and grow from holiday programme. They have grown into inquisitive, independent, confident boys and as a parent I feel ease knowing they will be taken care of during this time and afforded opportunities to learn and grow in a fun safe environment. I’m especially proud of their progress and confidence with swimming! They can’t wait for school holidays and are always so proud of their achievements and buzzing with excitement for all the adventures they have. It has been a great help to have such an affordable, accessible, diverse programme available for my children to attend during school holidays, especially as we are not always afforded the opportunity to take time off to be with them due to work. We appreciate everything that goes into the programme and the hard mahi that Lia, TJ, Hemi and the team puts in. Fa’afetai Tele lava- The Matagi Family
