Ngā mihi o te wā | Season's Greetings
We wish you and your whānau a safe and happy summer holiday! This is our last newsletter for 2025, but we'll be back in the new year with more parent stories, tips and more to help you thrive in 2026. Thank you for all your aroha and support for our mahi this year, and we look forward to sharing more with our community soon.
Seeking parent voices
As always, we welcome parents and carers to get in touch with their stories. Readers tell us they love hearing from other parents, so if that's you, please flick us an email at hello@awhingamatua.org.nz and we can support you to share your voice with others next year.
