Matariki at Sandringham 2022
We are celebrating Matariki at Sandringham Community Centre next June. Matariki is the group of 9 stars in the galaxy known as the Pleiades star cluster and is often referred to as the 9 sisters. It marks the celebration of the Maori New Year which is a time of renewal. On our celebration at Sandringham CC, we will be making harakeke flax stars retelling stories and sharing kai to eat. The storytelling will inform our Albert Eden community of the celebration of Matariki and you are all very welcome to join us !
