1. Overview To come

2. Events

2.1 Whiti Te Ra - The Whiti Te Ra Exhibition at Te Papa was officially closed on 18 March. A group of Ngāti Toa members attended the event and Hermann Salzmann carved the pou that was placed on the mahau of the Te Papa Marae in recognition of the Exhibition. The pou was unveiled at the closing ceremony and represents Kopa, Te Rauparaha and Whiti Te Ra. Anahera Parata has compiled material and digital elements for the online broadcast of the exhibition which we will be accessable via the Ngatitoa website.

2.2 Matariki - A series of events were held over June/July to celebrate Matariki. This included a fireworks display, a stargazing dinner, a trip to Mana Island, pot luck kai at the marae and planting a native tree. Because it was a great success, we plan to have similar events running next Matariki.

3. Resource Management

3.1 Renewal of Wellington City Council MOU - The Wellington City Council MOU was revised and signed on 29 March 2017 at Pipitea Marae. Taku Parai and Matthew Solomon attended and signed on behalf of the Rūnanga Board. The MOU sets out how Wellington City Council and the Rūnanga will work together on relevant pieces of work including Resource Management and Local Government responsibilities of the Council.

3.2 Wellington Water partnership - Wellington Water Limited are responsible for managing stormwater, wastewater and drinking water within most of the Wellington region. The Rūnanga have provided input into various projects over the last year, however these engagements have been in an ad hoc manner with no clear guidelines on how we will work together. To rectify this a Memorandum of Partnership was signed between the Runanga and Wellington Water in August. The MoU includes a contractual arrangement.

3.3 Takapuwahia Flooding - Since the last AGM the Runanga have been working with

Wellington Water to ensure Ngati Toa values and issues are considered when developing the options to mitigate the flooding issues within the rohe. There have been several presentations and feedback opportunities to the community, the Board, the kaumatua council and Runanga management. These have identified the difficulties finding solutions particularly forTakapuwahia. But the feedback will help Wellington Water to come up with options that will hopefully will satisfy the needs of the Takapūwāhia community.

3.4 Te Awarua o Porirua Whaitua committee - The iwi representatives on the Whaitua committee have been busy working on it's Implementation Plan. Engagement with the

wider iwi have included hui, presentations and a site visit to the various wastewater pump stations along the harbour. The Whaitua committee hope to have its plan ready by early next year.

3.5 Ngati Toa Focus Group for Porirua City Council District Plan Review- A focus group has been established to input into the review of the PCC District Plan review. This group is made up of 20 iwi members living in Porirua. The review of the plan is currently in its early stages and is planned to be out for public consultation in late 2018.

3.6 Takapūwāhia Village Strategy - The Rūnanga have helped the community to implement some of the actions under this strategy. This financial year (16/17) we have installed the bi-lingual slow down signage, upgraded the Chapel Street park (sun shelter and water fountain) and continued to work on the marae landscaping design with the Marae Committee.

Further funding for 17/18 financial year was approved for 3 projects, these were to finish the bilingual signage, finish the marae landscaping, and to complete the waka ramp and shower. We are working with the community to review the strategy and identify next steps.

3.7 Marine Cultural Health Indicators Project - A project to develop marine cultural health indicators was started in early 2015 and has slowly progressed. The project has developed two reports and a focus group of Ngāti Toa iwi members was created to help to develop these indicators from a Ngāti Toa perspective. We hope to test a small suite of indicators on the 25th and 26th of November. If you are interested in contributing to this project please contact Leana [email protected]

4 Communications

4.1 The Website: The new look of the website was launched in July which makes it easier to navigate by phone or by computer and also allows the Runanga to have more control over the content.

4.2 Tikarohia - our newsletter was distributed twice during this financial year but we intend on distributing it more frequently during this financial year. If you have anything you would like in included in Tikarohia please contact Waipuna on [email protected]

4.3 Employment Opportunities- With the ongoing relationship that we have with CPB-Heb (joint venture overseeing the construction of Transmission Gully), we were able to support 7 iwi members into employment. We hope to repeat this in the coming year.

5 Education

5.1 Toa Puna Reo

There are currently a total of 43 tamariki, 14 under 2 year old's and 29 over 2 year old's. There is a waiting list with more tamariki due to start in the new year. We are going to gradually increase our numbers, so please be patient during this process. We want to ensure we continue to provide quality education and care for our whānau and tamariki.

This year we have had six tamariki leave to go to kura, four of these went to Te Kura Māori o Porirua to further their education in the Reo.

The new whare for the under two year old's was opened in March, and we were able to increase our license from 28 to 50 children. With the growing number of tamariki, our team of kaiako has also expanded. In the last 6 months we have employed more teachers, that are committed and passionate about our goal to become a full immersion Puna Reo. We have 10 kaiako, of which 6 are qualified ECE teachers, 2 are studying towards a degree in ECE and 2 kaiāwhina.

Whaea Hayley and the Pemberton whānau moved to Nelson in August, we acknowledge all the mahi she and her whānau has done in setting up the Puna Reo, and we wish them the best on their next chapter in Nelson.

Amiria Salzmann took on the role of kaiwhakahaere in June. She is in her second year of study of Poutuarongo Whakaakoranga Kohungahunga (Bachelor of Teaching ECE). Amiria grew up in Takapuwahia, attended Titahi Bay Kohanga Reo, Takapuwahia Kohanga Reo and Te Kura Māori o Porirua. She is passionate about working for her iwi and the survival of Te Reo Māori and Tikanga Māori. She is honoured and very excited to lead an awesome team of kaimahi into the next stages of becoming a full immersion Puna, and providing quality education and care for our tamariki.

We continue to deliver a programme with a strong emphasis on Ngāti Toatanga. The kōrero tuku iho about kaitiaki Mutumutu, Kopa, Awarua and Rereroa are to name a few of our recent programmes. These learning experiences also took us on haerenga outside of Puna, such as Ngā Manu Reserve, where tamariki were able to feed the tuna. We also participated in the Hikoi for Te Reo Māori, where the tamariki dressed up as Awarua and Rereroa. Our tamariki love kapahaka, and have a bracket in place where they have been using, and will continue to utilize when going to tautoko pōwhiri at the marae and around the community.

This time last year we formed a relationship with Te Kaakano o te Kohanga Reo in Otaki. We received funding through Te Puni Kōkiri which allowed Te Kaakano to support us with building Te Reo at the Puna. In August the contract ended, and the outcome from this was that Te Kaakano created an Action Plan specifically for the Puna, based on our goals and aspirations and linking it to the iwis Reo Strategy. We had a whānau hui in August where Te Kaakano introduced the Action Plan to our whānau, and the response from our whānau was incredible, with everyone on board and keen to start this Reo journey together. At the moment kaiako are all looking to enrol in reo courses and kura reo in 2018.

We are currently in the stages of improving our outdoor area which reflects Te Hekenga Mai Raro, Changes are already taking place with a new sandpit area, which will be in representation of the kūmara pit that Te Rauparaha hid under at Lake Rotoaira, and a mural representing Taranaki maunga and the first stage of the heke from Kāwhia to Taranaki, Te Heke Tahutahuahi. A big mihi to the Dads and kaimahi that have made this possible and come in over the weekends to do these projects. Over the coming months we will continue to do mahi on our outdoor area, and bring that outside learning in so our tamariki have a firm knowledge of Te Hekenga Mai Raro, our iwi, and our Rangatira, Te Rauparaha.

5.2 Te Puna Matauranga o Toa Rangatira

Puna PRIMARY This program delievers one to one tutoring for primary students in years 1-8. The aim is to support the educational achievement of our tamariki, through focused planning, based on individual next steps. Puna works with schools, who refer students through a set criteria. Students meet with Puna tutors up to twice weekly, at 40 minutes per session. 2016-17 has seen students reach expected levels, increase in learner confidence and greater whānau engagement. This program also offers open workshops weekly, for students not enrolled in one to one tutoring. Workshops cover literacy, numeracy and Te reo Māori through an interactive approach to learning. Workshops include technology, through Hīnātore – Learning Lab at Te Papa, Book Club, Te Reo Māori, Pakihi a Tamaiti – Young Enterprise.

Puna SECONDARY This program delievers academic support and career pathway development to secondary students. The focus is NCEA L2 achievement, and provides support in and outside the formal school system for both students and their whānau. Students enrolled here enjoy open tutorial nights, twice a week. These run as two hour sessions and are well supported by secondary school teachers across a range of subjects. Over the year our students have been involved in educational activities outside the classroom, including local council initiatives, research partnering with Victoria University, advisory groups to local initiatives, presenting at National conferences, environmental education programs. Our students are equipped with a individualised education plan, supporting their development toward a sustainable career.

6 Ora Toa Mauriora

Service Referrals: Over the past year there has been just 300 referrals in to Ora Toa Mauriora for mental health and addiction, youth mentoring and gambling harm. There has been a reduction in both mental health and addiction referrals in comparison to the previous year.

Mental Health: Most of our mental health referrals are received from our three Ora Toa GP practices. A lot of referrals are for anxiety and depression and grief. All referrals are triaged by our mental health nurse, and depending on the severity will be seen by our psychologist. Our psychologist is in great demand and has had at times a large waitlist to see him.

Addictions: For addictions, referrals are received from community probation services, police, social workers, other non-government and community organisations, as well as our other Rünanga services. There has been an increase in support for clients with multiple addictions, including alcohol and drugs with problem gambling. Early into the year we employed Janet Matehe as our female addiction counsellor, who also has a weekly support group for wahine. Addiction recovery groups in the community are a significant part of continued treatment for whānau. Our service help to facilitate weekly recovery groups in the community. This

Waitech Programme: This programme invites local schools with participants in years 6 to 12 to participate in education around substance abuse. Waka ama is the programme kaupapa to help provide resilience, strength, confidence, dignity, self-discipline and knowledge. It includes knowledge of Ngāti Toa, kawa, tikanga, karakia, waiata, mihimihi, water safety, paddling techniques, and developing leadership potential. This is a ten week programme, with two three hour sessions run twice a day, three days per week on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and one session Friday. There are three graduations from the programme throughout the year, for 60-70 tamariki at a time. This past year the participating schools were: Titahi Bay Intermediate, Titahi Bay North School, Brandon Intermediate, Rangikura School, Windley School, Paekakariki School and Kapiti College.

Problem Gambling: Our problem gambling team support individuals and whānau who are experiencing gambling harm, with a noticeable increase in online gambling that is very easily accessible. They have also started up a support group for gamblers who meet regularly. This service is currently part of a 10-week pilot, to facilitate and provide the ‘Sorted Whānau” financial literacy programme and will also continue next year. They support the Kaumatua Kaunihera with catering.

Mirimiri and Rongoa: Pania Solomon provides mirimiri twice a week in her new space at 2 Ngatitoa Street, or for those less mobile she can do a home visit. She has also been providing her Rongoa knowledge for whānau.

Youth Mentor – Tuakana Service: Referrals into this service are for rangatahi having issues either at home or school. Support is provided for both the tamariki and their whānau, including accessing other services to help reach their goals.

Staff continue to build on their knowledge and experience with professional development. They attend regional and national networking and leadership hui and conferences. They also attend and provide service promotion opportunities and host and facilitate training.

We continue to have close working relationships and continued networking with other services and organisations. This year we worked with staff from Ora Toa Health Unit to provide successful combined holiday programmes, with increased capacity for our tamariki to attend.

7. Ora Toa PHO Health Unit & Medical Centres

Registered Service Users: Our registered populations are increasing each year and we continue to offer a wide range of community services and groups that allow flexible options for whanau to improve their health and wellbeing. The community services support our Medical Centres and allow staff to refer internally for mental health support, wellchild health and immunisations, nutrition and physical activity support, (including to Kaha Toa Gym) smoking cessation and other outreach services.

afternoons for Diabetes, Care Plus reviews and insulin starts. This has been well attended.

▪ Hapu Ora Service: This service accepts referrals from across CCDHB for pregnant women

who smoke. Service prioritises Maori, Aged 15-25 years. Also accept referrals for

women who smoke and are not pregnant who have children aged up to 5 years old.

▪ Ear Micro Suction Service: We have begun offering a very low-cost ear microsuction

service. We have seen 23 clients since mid-July, mostly Ora Toa GP referrals for

deafness, tinnitus and vertigo caused by blocked ears. Our nurses are trained to use the

microscope and suction unit (we purchased using MPDS funding) and are running a clinic

for a half a day a week. We are currently only seeing Ora Toa patients and will look to

open this up to other patients from high needs practices once the service is well

established

Saturday Clinics:

▪ The Tamariki Ora Monthly clinics see 25-30 families each month.

▪ The Maori Community Health Service continues to run Saturday screening clinics for

CVD checks, diabetes reviews, gout, immunisations and cervical screening, for all our

Medical Centres. This option is to encourage participation and is proving successful with

high attendance rates. Participants are invited by mail to make an appointment during

our screening week at their medical centre. The CVD screening identifies many with

high risk and we refer them to their GP for follow up care. We refer many people to our

other programs including the Ora Toa gym.

Immunisation: Our PHO immunisation stats for the 3month period to 30th September 2017 for the 8month milestone coverage is 92%. We have concerns regarding the stats for this quarter: ▪ A small cohort of eligible children means it only takes a couple of decliners to make the

national target unachievable. ▪ This is very disheartening for our staff as they care, and considerable effort goes into

this work. We get so close to target, yet there are aspects that we have little control over - namely the small size of our population and the significant external influences affecting families’ decisions not to vaccinate. These could be anti-immunisation campaigns and also social issues affecting their prioritising as the majority of our families have high needs, many with very complex issues. We do suspect the ‘Vaxxed’ movie may be having an impact on parents’ decision not to vaccinate, though most of the families declining this quarter could be considered ‘long term’ decliners.

▪ The national data is not disaggregated. It would be useful to see national achievement of targets by ethnicity. Our achievement rate for Maori for the 8-month milestone coverage is 97%.

Quality Services: Our practices have all achieved 4 rounds of Cornerstone Accreditation. We have a Quality group that meets monthly with representatives from across the TROTR to work on projects that will enhance the quality of our service provision.

Waitangirua: We formally take possession of the Waitangirua Health Centre on Wednesday 1st November. All of the current Waitangirua staff have been offered the opportunity to carry on working for Ora Toa in their existing roles, all but one nurse accepted a position with us. Due to contract requirements, the practice will continue to access Compass Health Support Services during the period 1st November to 31st December and will be introduced to Ora Toa community support services during this time and will start referring to these from 1st January 2017. Health Care Home: Our 3 Porirua practices have joined the CCDHB Health Care Home (HCH) initiative as a ‘hub’. The intention of HCH is a model of care centred on a patient’s needs. The model enables patients to access same day appointments, provides extended hours of access and allows patients to have virtual consultations with GPs via phone, or secure messaging. Patients will also have access to their clinical information through patient portals. Aside from the virtual consultations and patient portal this is a way we have been used to working.

Manage My Health: We are now offering patients registered with our medical centres the opportunity to sign up to the Manage My Health patient portal. This allows patients to book their own GP appointments, view their lab results and email their GP directly. We have installed an Ipad at each medical centre to support the sign-up process. Website Upgrade: We have used MPDS funding to upgrade the TROTR website and the health pages within this. Patients can also sign up to Manage My Health via a link on our webpage. Family Violence Intervention Training: We ran this training over two days for all TROTR

employees. The training was facilitated by Dr Faye Clark, a national family violence expert and trainer and included a panel discussion with local experts; police, womens refuge and living without violence coordinator. Health and Safety: None of our sites sustained any damage following the November (Kaikoura) earthquake. All emergency equipment has been checked and updated along with our Business Continuity Plan that now includes all TROTR sites in the one plan. We also formed a Health and Safety committee that meets 3 times each year with representatives from each TROTR site. PeopleSafe: We have introduced a new online Health and Safety Tool ‘PeopleSafe’ where all incidents, accidents, hazards, maintenance records, risk management plans and staff training are stored. All staff have their own login and we can generate reports to assess trends and our health and safety needs over time. New Staff ID: We introduced a new staff ID card for all TROTR employees that includes our new logo. Staff Communication: ‘Kia ora Toa’ is an e-panui that goes out to all staff weekly and includes links to training available, important contacts and our policy manual.
