Supporting a Te Kūpenga rangatahi into 2026

One of our rangatahi from Te Kūpenga has been accepted into a structured, full-year training pathway focused on leadership, discipline, wellbeing, and preparation for service-based careers.

To start well, he needs support with essential uniform, training gear, and a laptop — practical requirements that help set him up with confidence, routine, and dignity.

If you’d like to help support this next step, please comment below or send us a message.
Thank you for standing with our rangatahi 💛

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given.” — Isaiah 9:6

We’re grateful for the privilege of supporting our community again this year.
Wishing you all a blessed and peaceful Christmas.

Our Te Kupenga students and tutors represented their countries with pride today, dressing up with their national flags ahead of the 2025 Pacific Championships Rugby League 🏉. It was an awesome way to celebrate the rich diversity within our whānau and the strength that comes from bringing our cultures together.

We’re cheering on all the teams competing this weekend — what an incredible opportunity to showcase talent, teamwork, and Pacific pride! 🙌🏽💙💛❤️💚
