local raangatahi aged 14-18 who were disengaged from school
have graduated from the Oho Mauri Transitions Programme and
are now armed with skills to confidently transition into
further education, training and employment in 2021. This
collective was made up of 10 Huntly College girls, and 20
students from Ngaruawahia High School.
Leah Crawford,
Oho Mauri Co-Founder says “Our raangatahi would have faced
many challenges trying to gain the right skills and
qualifications to enter the workforce without having
experienced the journey of the Oho Mauri Transition
Programme”.
“The reality for some of our
raangatahi is that difficult life and family circumstances,
Manaia and Scarlet hope the lake’s restoration will encourage more Kiwis to visit the wetland. “When I reflect back to my time when I was a young boy, there were no PlayStations, no digital devices … we would spend hours at the creek, learning about nature and ultimately about science.” Lake Rotopiko, also known as Serpentine Lakes, is next to State Highway 3, near Ōhaupō, between Hamilton and Te Awamutu. It is one of 16 significant peat lakes in the Waipā district and is now surrounded by a 3km predator-proof fence. The new pontoon and lake circuit walkway cost about $200,000, supported by funders, the Lottery Grants Board, Waipā District Council, WEL Energy Trust, Trust Waikato, Stout Trust and Waikato Forest and Bird.
