Our Events
We’ve had some awesome hui at Uruuruwhenua lately – from wānanga and whānau-friendly events to immunisation clinics to help keep our hapori hauora. It’s been great to see so many people coming together to learn, share kai, and support each other.
Looking ahead, we’ve got more kaupapa coming up – including community events, health days, and chances to get immunised. These are all about manaaki, whakawhanaungatanga, and building strong, connected communities. Nau mai, haere mai – we’d love to see you there!

Well South Matariki Breakfast
WellSouth and Uruuruwhenua Hauora hosted their third Matariki Celebration with a Whāngai i te Hautapu Ceremony at dawn, followed by a parakuihi/brealfast.
It was a great time for us to come together to reflect share and celebrate.
Matariki 2025
In collaboration with WellSouth, we have a week of Celebrations for Matariki. Grief Workshop, Mirimiri and Massage, Kai sovereignty and preserving, kōrero with Whaea Louise, Health Clinics and ending with an Ice Disco for Tamariki and Rangatahi.
Matariki 2024
For Matariki 2024, Uru embraced the spirit of reflection, renewal, and connection with a week-long celebration for our tamariki and rangatahi. Each day, we honoured one of the nine stars of Matariki with a special activity that reflected its unique kaupapa—from sharing kai and painting, to storytelling, waiata, and exploring the environment together.
To wrap up the week, we turned up the lights and the music with a vibrant Matariki Disco—an evening full of laughter, movement, and manaaki. It was a beautiful way to celebrate the rising of the stars and the bright futures of our young ones, while strengthening the ties that bind us as whānau and hapori.
Whānau Christmas Party
To close out the year, we came together for a joyful Whānau Christmas Party—celebrating the year that was and, most importantly, each other. The day was filled with waiata, laughter, kai, and fun activities for all ages. One of the highlights was seeing some of our brave and talented tamariki take the stage to sing, filling the room with pride and festive cheer.
It was a beautiful way to reflect on our shared journey, reconnect as whānau, and end the year with aroha and joy.
