✨ Taieri Matariki Static Star Installation – COMING SOON at Anzac Park ✨

From 24 June to 22 July, Anzac Park will host a community-led Matariki Static Star Installation as part of the Taieri Matariki celebrations.

The stars create a space for people to pause, reflect, and remember loved ones throughout the Matariki period.

🌟 Star raising moment: approx. 5pm, 24th June
This will include karakia and a period of silence to honour those we have lost.

We are grateful to the many Taieri businesses, community groups, and volunteers helping bring this installation to life.

Thanks to the team at Property Brokers Mosgiel for inviting me along to your team meeting today. I thoroughly enjoyed sharing the work of Taieri Network and was inspired by the energy, passion, and genuine care you all have for our Mosgiel-Taieri community. Ngā mihi for everything you do to help make our community such a great place to live.

A big thank you to Jean from Taieri Network for joining our team meeting today!

We all found the session incredibly insightful - it's great to know where to turn when you're not sure where to go. With fantastic community connections, valuable initiatives, and a collaborative approach to supporting local groups, Taieri Network is a real asset to our community.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and the amazing work you do! 💙

⏳ Only 48 hours left to share your experiences through Alia's community engagement survey.

🔗 https://tinyurl.com/5xethwzu

As part of her final-year studies at Otago Polytechnic, Alia has been exploring how people from different cultural backgrounds experience connection and engagement within the Mosgiel–Taieri community.

Every response helps build a richer understanding of the diverse experiences, strengths, and opportunities that exist across our community. It also helps support Alia in completing an important piece of research for her studies.

If you have a few minutes to spare, we'd love for you to take part before the survey closes at 12pm this Friday.

Thank you to everyone who has already participated. Your insights are helping us better understand the communities that make Mosgiel–Taieri such a special place.
