⚓️ From the classroom to the Navy fitness centre! Karanga mai Te Taua Moana 🌊
🫡 Our rangatahi explored what mahi in the Navy might look like – fitness, leadership, discipline and comradery were anchors in this visit.
🏃🏽♀️ From beep tests to learning key knots used in the Navy, our rangatahi took the leap and engaged fully in this awesome session.
📍 Every Sunday, we’ve been sharing a new part of the journey on our He Takere Waka Nui Haerenga ki Tāmaki – this is the final post. This is not the end of the kaupapa however, with ongoing kōrero and tautoko being given to our cohort this year in their pathways journeys by our He Takere team!
