Our campuses will be closed this Friday, 24 June to celebrate Matariki, the start of the Māori New Year.
Matariki will be observed as a public holiday for the first time in 2022.Communities around the country are set to pay tribute with a variety of events during the long weekend.
Signified by the Matariki cluster of stars reappearing in our night sky, this is a time to reflect on the past year, celebrate the present, and plan for the year ahead. An ideal time to view the stars is early morning shortly before dawn. One of the brightest clusters in the sky, it has different names around the world. It is known in English by its ancient Greek name, Pleiades or the Seven Sisters. Meanwhile, in Hawaii it is called Makali’i, ‘eyes of royalty', and in Japan, Subaru, which means ‘gathered together’.
The rise of Matariki indicates the Lunar New Year.Today, New Zealanders meet to remember ancestors, share meals, sing songs and tell stories. Matariki focuses on reconnecting with your home and whānau.
