Congratulations to Kalas Taukamo and Tiana Mansfield who are the 2017 recipients of the Mana Pounamu Tuakana Award and Mana Pounamu Teina Award. They were joined by Mr Olsen, Mrs Plunkett, friends and family at a special awards evening which was held in Dunedin on Friday. The Mana Pounamu Young Achievers’ Awards was brought about through the vision of the late Tāua, Alva Kapa, a local Kāi Tahu educator. It was named as such because it was first held in the Year of Mana Pounamu (2001) and is a Kāi Tahu initiative supported by Kā Papatipu Rūnaka ki Arai-Te-Uru. The awards ceremony is an opportunity to celebrate the achievement of rakatahi Māori in secondary schools across Otago.
