SWIS Marching Team

With one in three kiwis affected by cancer, we all have someone in our whānau, at our workplace, in our sports team or in our neighbourhood affected by this disease. If you have an extra bit of change to put in a bucket today, it will be very welcome. Or if you want to donate online you can do that at www.daffodil,org.nz
Every dollar makes a massive difference.

RIP Sir Sam Neill. 🎬🦖 From sleeping dogs and dodging raptors to pouring incredible New Zealand Pinot Noir, Sam Neill was a fine fine New Zealander and a great actor. He was an absolute example of dignity and grace. He used his voice to stand up for us and our environment. He understood that loving your country means wanting to leave it better than you found it.

The world is a little less bright today.
💛🤍🖤

Manawatia a Matariki whānau.

We hope you have enjoyed a day of honouring and remembering, celebrating and reconnecting and preparing for the days ahead.

💛🤍🖤
