As the Matariki stars rise in the winter sky, we join together in celebrating this special time in Aotearoa. Matariki marks the Māori New Year — a moment to honour the past, cherish the present, and look forward with hope.

At MMC, we embrace the beauty of unity in diversity. This Matariki, we stand alongside our Māori communities in acknowledging the richness of culture, the importance of whānau, and the power of shared traditions.

Let us reflect on those we have lost, give thanks for what we have, and dream for what’s to come — together, under one sky.
