Clinic Notice:
We will be closed for Matariki this weekend.
Normal hours to resume Monday 13th July, 2026.
Matariki is the Maori name for the cluster of stars, that rises in midwinter and for many Maori, heralds the start of the new year.
It is a time of remembrance, celebration and hope for the future.
This year’s theme is Matariki herenga waka which means For everyone. Matariki herenga waka is about inclusion and encouraging all to celebrate together, with connections to multi-culturalism and the sharing of cultural practices.
Manawatia a Matariki
Manawa maiea te putanga o Matariki
Manawa maiea te ariki o te rangi
Manawa maiea te Matahi o te tau
Celebrate the rising of Matariki
Celebrate the rising of the lord of the sky
Celebrate the rising of the New Year
Mark Matariki this year by setting aside some time to catch up with that friend you have been meaning to catch up with, gathering loved ones for some laughs over a meal or just a walk in your local neighbourhood.
Be safe this Matariki and look out for one another.
