It was an evening of magical success and heartwarming messages all around. We were strongly sponsored by MP Rima Nakhle, the National Party Member for Takanini, and supported by her colleagues and opposition Members across Parliament.

We also had a strong presence from our industry, Pacific communities and those within vocational education settings who came to witness a memorable milestone for Hanga-Aro-Rau.
