   The  highlight  of   this  year  has  been   the   Iwi  event  named  Apa  Rising,  which  was  held  on  16  March  2013   at   the   Whangaehu   School.     This   event  together  for  a  day  of  fun  and  entertainment.    It  was  the  first  event  of  its    Apa,  and  was  pulled  together  by  a  organisation   of   this   event   was   top   class,   and   the   weather   contributed   to   make   this   an   amazing  experience   for  over  400   Iwi  members  who  participated   in   this   action  packed  day.   This   event,  and  other   events   held   throughout   the   year   including   the   Christmas   hakari   for   our   elders   and   the  Graduates   Evening,   have   served   to   spark   or   at   least   contribute   to   ongoing   processes   of  w ith   their  

   

  been  substantial  investment  of  time  and  resources  in  planning  and  growing  capacity.    Strategies  developed  throughout  the  year  through  to  Puanga  2013  have  set  the  foundation  for  a  number  of  new  cultural  and  whanaungatanga  focused  programmes   including   the  new  education  planning  project  which  has   just  been   launched.      Getting  the  asset  base  right  remains  a  major  focus,  but  more  and  more  is  happening  in  the  social  and  cultural  domain  to  ensure  that  the  programme  of  activities  is  balanced  between  wealth  creation  and  investment   in   our   people.   This   is   the   fundamental   challenge   faced   by   all   Iwi   groups   after   Treaty  Settlements.     In   the   early   years   following   Treaty   Settlement,   it   is   probably   quite   hard   for   Iwi  members   in   general   to   see   this  balance   in   action,  however  we  believe  we  have   the  direction  and  

inancially  independent  and  is  a  significant   growth  and  development.    For  the  coming  year,  the  strategic  framework  has  been  reviewed  and  enhanced,  and  members  can  see   this   in   the   current   Annual   Plan   through   to   Puanga  associated  Paiaka  values  and  principles  has  strengthened  the  kaupapa  of  the  organisation,  and  the  themes   of   Te   Kunenga   Mai   I   Hawaiiki,   Te   Whakaringaringa,   Te   Whakawaewae   and   Te  Whakakanohitanga   have   been   refined   to   apply   to   development   project   and   programme   cycles.    Getting  this  kaupapa  set  down  correctly  is  an  important  body  of  work,  and  we  are  now  able  to  drive  programmes   and   projects   directly   from   the   Paiaka   value   base,  which   is   giving   our   organisation   a  greater  sense  of  purpose  and  a  higher  degree  of  cultural   integrity  as  we  move  forward.    These  are  exciting  times,  and  our  people  involved  in  the  Governance,  Management  and  Operations  of  our  Iwi  organisations  are  working  hard.    It  is  therefore  our  pleasure  to  introduce  this  annual  report  within  a  context  of  genuine  pride  in  what  we  have  achieved,  and  excitement  about  what  the  future  holds.
