I tera wiki, i tae mai wētahi ākonga haumanu korikori o AUT ki te marae nei. Nau mai, hoki mai ki tō tātou marae! Last week, 160 AUT physiotherapy students were welcomed onto our marae, over a 3 day period. This was, for many students, their first visit to a marae. These students now have a marae to call their own! Nō tātou te whiwhi mō tēnei hononga hou. We all feel blessed to have this new connection between Te Herenga Waka o Orewa Marae and AUT.
He hono tāngata e kore e motu, kāpā he taura waka e motu.
Bonds between people cannot be broken, unlike the severable canoe rope.
