Pou Tangata
Ngāti Rehua will prioritise the health and wellbeing of our people. We will take a holistic approach using the Whare Tapa Whā model to address Tinana, Hinengaro, Wairua and Whānau issues.
Health
Long-term aspirations include the establishment of Ngāti Rehua led health services on Aotea delivered by our people for our people. This would include primary care, mental health, maternity, social services, home care and rongoā. Short-term, the focus will be on strengthening partnerships with Te Whatu Ora: Health NZ, developing an Iwi Health Strategy and establishing a Māra Kai on Aotea.
Education
Long-term aspirations include establishing a Ngāti Rehua led Kura Reo on Aotea delivering services for our people by our people. This would include all ages from Kōhanga Reo, primary school, high school support to adult education services. Short-term the focus will be on delivering educational support services for our high school students both on Aotea and on the mainland.
Rangatahi
Our kaumātua have asked for us to focus on rangatahi and ensure they have a bright future. The Long-term focus is to support our rangatahi into careers that align with their personal dreams, living long healthy and wealthy lives. The short-term focus is to connect our Ngāti Rehua rangatahi to their land and culture via regular rangatahi hui, wānanga and camps.
Community Led Development
The aspiration is to work collaboratively with our community on Aotea to develop and deliver projects that benefit all of our people.
