Culture, Clarity, and Commemoration

This morning's hui was a reminder of the spirit, purpose, and people that shape our work at Mahi Mihinare.

We began with kapa haka where we were truly in the zone! The energy was high, the movements confident, and the enjoyment was clear on every face. It's exciting to see how far we've come as a group, with both the wairua and the discipline of kapa haka growing stronger each week. Ka mau te wehi!

Next, Kirsten led a timely and important session on the use of Noted, our platform for documentation. Her presentation highlighted the what, when, why, and how of good note-keeping, reminding us of the critical role clear documentation plays in our practice. We broke into teams for a hands-on activity, creating a case note for a fictional character. It sparked thoughtful conversation around what details are relevant, what’s best left out, and how we can be consistent and professional in recording our work.

Finally, we paused to remember Gerald Bailey - a respected former Chair of the Anglican Action Mission Trust Board, and a steadfast supporter of our kaupapa for many years until his retirement in 2022. His legacy of wisdom and commitment lives on in our work. Moe mai rā, Gerald.

It was a hui that balanced growth, learning, and deep respect - an embodiment of our values in action.
