Ka tu, ka tu, ka tu.
It stands, it stands, it stands.

In recent years, Scott has also been involved with the sport of Waka Ama, competing for a number of years at national and international levels as well as serving as a national board member. A dad, a partner, a dog’s best friend, he’s one part Tāne, one part Tangaroa, and two parts Rongo.

Te manu e kai ana te Miro, nōna te ngahere; te manu e kai ana te mātauranga, nōna te ao.
The bird that eats from the miro tree owns the forest; the bird that eats from the tree of knowledge owns the world.
Our little team’s pōtiki, Jordy brings valuable rangatahi and wāhine insight to the kaupapa. She is currently studying a Certificate in Ngā Taonga Tākaro, comes from a background in Mau rākau, and has a passion for all things Māori.
