HOP Stairway to Wellbeing

Whakapapa

He Oranga Poutama is a SPARC program and intended to strongly centre on Maori cultural distinctiveness and support community leadership and participation growth in sport and recreation as Maori. 

He Oranga Poutama have a team of four (known as "Te Tauihu") that cover the Tamaki Makaurau Region.  The three Kaiwhakahaere and one Kaihautu work across the four Regional Sport Trusts - Counties Manukau Sport, Sport Waitakere, Harbour Sport and Sport Auckland.  He Oranga Poutama have three key outcomes which are:

• kaiwhakahāere participating as leaders in their community
• increased opportunities for whānau to explore, learn and participate as Māori in sport and traditional physical recreation
• revitalisation and further development of sport and traditional physical recreation.

He Oranga Poutama has evolved to strongly focus on participating and leading as Māori in sport and traditional physical recreation at community level.  Te Tauihu have a particular emphasis on five key settings in Tamaki Makaurau.  Those settings include Kohanga Reo, Kura Maori, Wharekura, Marae and Maori Sporting Organisations.  Te Tauihu also work closely with the Tamaki Makaurau Regional Sports Trusts (RSTs) with a particular focus on the revitalisation of traditional Maori games and physical activity.
