Stokes Valley Youth Awareness Weekend


The Stokes Valley Youth Awareness Weekend begins on Friday 14 June at 6pm going through to Sunday 16th 10am - To be held at Taita College Marae.

The cost is $7. We will also be approaching as many businesses as possible to assist in providing the donations of food.

The age group is 12 to 16 years. All of the schools in the Hutt valley from Form 2 to Form 6 that agreed to have permission forms at their school offices have them now.

Supervisors are Enua Wichman (Kapa Haka tutor for Tui Glen School), Luke Whaanga (Kapa Haka tutor for Taita College) as well as other friends who will be dropping in throughout the weekend.

The idea of the weekend is to hear from Stokes Valley Youth as to what they would like to have provided for them in Stokes Valley. ie: Youth Centre, Skate Park, More funds for youth orientated events to name just a few.

The idea is also to open a dialogue between our youth and our wider community with the hope of building a bridge to better understanding.

The information we get from this weekend will be presented to the Northern Ward Committee as a stepping stone to practical support and hopefully resources to assist in the implementation of possible projects.

We do need help by way of sponsership of food for the weekend. Please contact Janet (Wk) 972-5758 (HM) 973-6182
