Age: 15-18 (some flexibility on a case by case basis) We will be seeking a mixture of gender – ideally a 50/50 split and a mix of engaged and competent… in their Māhakitanga as well as dis-connected.

This is an excellent opportunity for our rakatahi to reconnect with the southernmost part of our rohe and with each other!!!
