Ngā Hau e Wha o Wainuiomata Marae Awards Evening 2024

It was the annual awards evening for Ngā Hau e Wha o Wainuiomata Marae (NHEW), a night to celebrate and honour all those involved in the club. NHEW was initially set up to create a pathway for Māori to achieve at sport, improve their health and well being, participate in the community and connect with their whakapapa and identity.

Each campaign includes a:

Noho Marae
Learning Haka, Waiata and Karakia
Physical Training
Travel to Rotorua and participate in the NZ Māori Rugby League Tournaments

As a result, many rangatahi particularly kōtiro/girls have made national teams including NZ Kiwis, NZ Māori, Fetu Samoa and most recently more then 10 have been signed to Australia clubs with the hope it will lead to NRLW contract.

We also celebrate the number of teams that have joined this year, players and staff whom are all volunteers including our first Touch team that went and participated in the NZ Māori Touch nationals. 2024 saw us have:

10 teams
First tour to Australia winning all 3 games
U17 National Champs
27 national representatives
First Touch Team to participate in NZ Māori Touch Tournament

We're looking forward to what 2025 brings.
