During the year 2009 our Kaumatua have plodded along splendidly. Although decimated by the passing of some and most recently in this case MaKuini Wyllie. She was always passive, her eyes telling her thoughts. Our arohanui to the Wyllie whanau. You will now join your husband Robin Pong Wyllie. Haere atu e te puriri whakamau o te wao tapu nui a Tane. To Maringi, Aroha and Wiremu a heartfelt aroha from the Chair and Kahui Kaumatua here we come. Naku iti noa, na Temple Isaacs Kahui Kaumatua Chair PAGE 01

4 Chairman s Review I am delighted to present the Annual Report for Te Runanga o Turanganui a Kiwa for the Year ending 30 th June, It has been a demanding and challenging year for the Runanga Board, our whole focus has been on providing support and resources to help our beneficiaries complete their Iwi Claims process with the Crown. I should like to acknowledge the work that Ronald has put into this process as their claims manager and also thank senior staff for their support of Ronald as chief executive of the Runanga. That demand on Ronald s time is best highlighted by the two following examples; the progress the claimant groups are achieving from AIP to Deed of Settlement signing, and the positive financial position for this year s accounts. The financial report demonstrates a strong balance sheet for the turbulent recession period that we have just experienced. The challenge for the trustees has been how to move forward strongly but to not cause concern to each of the Iwi Claimant groups that the Runanga was positioning itself to be the premier organization post-settlement. There will be a place for the Runanga in the future and discussion will take place with the beneficiaries about what that future will look like. Once again our Kaumatua Kahui has had a strong year with their regular monthly meetings being well attended. They have had all manner of topics presented at their Hui and have also represented the Runanga at many functions and events. The Trustees acknowledge and appreciate the work that the Kaumatua and Kuia do on our behalf. In terms of our Constitution, we have made no changes for the year in review but do look to work with our beneficiaries in this coming year. We have had no change to our trustees and I thank them for the work they have provided in managing beneficiaries interests and providing support and guidance for our senior management. We could not do all of this work without the various teams at the Runanga, and I wish to acknowledge their successes over this year. I would like to thank Ronald, Chief Executive, and all the teams at Te Runanga o Turanganui a Kiwa for their continued hard work, dedication and professionalism.

5 Executive s Review Tihei mauri ora Ko te amorangi ki mua, ko te hapai o ki muri Kua pupu toku ngakau i te taenga mai ki enei huihuinga tangata. Maku ta tatou Purongo e whakaatu ki a koutou katoa. Heio ano, me mihi, ka tika ki a koutou e awhi, e tautoko i a au. Kei te mihi hoki ahau ki a koutou mo o koutou rarangi korero, patapatai me te aroha o te tangata ki te tangata. Tenei te mihi kia koutou katoa Turanga a mua The achievement and honouring of our identity, heritage and customs continues to be progressed by our respective treaty claimants. Several expressions of these manifest themselves in the Agreement in Principle that was signed in August Our people continue to graft away, continuing the work of those generations gone for the benefit of those generations to come. The Agreement in Principle was signed with a Labour led government, since that time a National government has come into power. The effect, in my opinion has hindered negotiations. At a national level through policy development and implementation; as well as specifically in understanding our claims, and also the understandings that our people formed with the previous crown administration. The next significant milestone is the draft Deed of Settlement. Working towards this end requires meeting several other milestones such as completing the Historical Accounts, developing the Post Settlement Governance Entities as well as many other key tasks. Our role as the Runanga is one of supporting our people progress the claim, alongside all the other support mechanisms. Turanga makaurau The activities of our business units continue to build grow and sustain towards a prosperous future. During the year a significant change occurred in how we manage our fisheries assets. The Ruamano board confirmed they intention to stop fishing and implemented a process of divesting themselves of the boat and associated equipment. This is a positive move due to the nature of fishing and the economic climate. On other fronts we continue to provide opportunities for career development and personal achievements, as well as supporting youth and whanau through difficult times and issues. ANNUAL REPORT 09

6 Turanga ararau As with many issues it seems that it takes generations to finalise; the wastewater issue is another of those. Sustainability leads us down many pathways and the sustenance of our waters has led us to pursue several options. The latest pathway being a variation to the resource consent and consequent introduction of a monitoring and evaluation group to ensure the treatment process is achieving our desired outcomes. One of the outcomes being, to ensure alternative use and disposal options are researched; from that may come the ultimate result of the removal of discharge from the sea. This result is still very clear and we must continue to verbalize this in as many forums as we can. Turanga tangatarite In order to move forward we must know our purpose. Our purpose is the wellbeing of all our people, and it is this wellbeing that we must be pursuing. Thanks to all our staff for their efforts and commitments to this kaupapa.

Service Description Tūranga Ararau promotes and provides quality learning and employment programmes offering the skills, knowledge and qualifications necessary for Iwi to manage, control and advance their cultural and economic resources. Learning is a long life process that enables our people to enhance and develop their skills, increase knowledge and thus reach their full potential. 2. Purchasers and Funders Combined our contracts and agreements with New Zealand Trade and Enterprise for the Enterprise Training Programme, the Ministry of Youth Affairs Papa Atawhai Conservation Corps, the CYF Papataiohi Specialist Youth Services, the MSD funded Kōkiri Taiohi project through Gisborne District Council, Work and Income Employment Placement and Support Services, Te Puni Kōkiri Local Level Solutions Aquaculture project, Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry Sustainable Farming Fund project, STAR contracts with secondary schools and FITEC industry training contracts made up a third of our income with the balance being generated through the Tertiary Education Commission programmes that included the targeted Training Opportunities and Youth Training programmes, Rangatahi Māia, Student Achievement Component courses, the Modern Apprenticeship Programme and Foundation Learning (Literacy) programmes. 3. Financial Performance 2008/2009 Revenue decreased for the financial year ended 30 June 2009, from $2,854,365 in 2008 to $2,717,890 in 2009, a decrease of $136,475 which was a reflection of the reduced income for Kōkiri Taiohi and TPK funding. There was an increase in expenditure, from $2,417,640 in 2008 to $2,691,403 in 2009, a total of $273,763. Capital expenditure focused on the new learning centre and, again, the aquaculture farm, vehicle replacements and IT. ANNUAL REPORT 09

8 Turanga Ararau 4. The Tertiary Environment As anticipated with a change of government there has been changes to the tertiary environment much of which is claimed to be a result of the global recession. For us the impact has been more from shifting funding around as opposed to an actual reduction in funding although we have been unsuccessful in retaining community literacy funding, which has been reduced regionally and confined to one provider, and the Rangatahi Maia programme. At the time of writing this report we are still awaiting for further information on a programme that appears to be Rangatahi Māia reconstituted under another name. The new Draft Tertiary Education Strategy has been released with a commitment to supporting Māori advancement through tertiary education and, for the first time acknowledges the role of PTEs in delivering tailored learning opportunities, such as marae and iwi-based provision We prepared and forwarded a submission agreeing in principle with the intent but again stressing our desire for a unique tertiary status for Iwi providers and for equitable funding and conditions with the government owned tertiary education institutions. The future thrust of the tertiary environment focuses on reducing expenditure, tighter controls, collaboration between tertiary education providers and between tertiary providers and industry and requiring providers to demonstrate they are identifying and providing for industry needs and the knowledge society. Ironically, despite this, there are indications of a return to a competitive environment. The draft strategy identifies that PTEs have two core roles that are to offer flexible and responsive education programmes and to focus on specific areas of study. However our status as a Private Training Establishment still impedes our ability to be responsive and flexible to Iwi needs and aspirations through our Student Achievement Component courses. We still receive less per funded place than public tertiary providers and are restricted to level 3 and above for this funding source but have lobbied the Minister of Eduction on the latter point in particular. The PTE Reinvestment Fund is very limited as providers are very diligent about consuming at least 97% of their allocation otherwise they lose it and this is the only way the fund is replenished. 5. Investment Plans We have worked towards, and are well on the way, to achieving the objectives we committed to in our Investment Plan for 2009 and have submitted our Investment Plan for 2010 based on the economic, social and cultural needs and aspirations of our Iwi, our learners and local industry. The process and requirements were more streamlined this time round but, despite having to justify planned provision against regional needs and existing provision for a three year period, providers are still only funded on a year by year basis. Our 2010 plan is aligned to the regional profile however the future of this requirement is now in doubt now that regions are no longer required to produce an annual Regional Statement for TEC. Working with some of the other providers we still plan to try and develop a collaborative tertiary plan for our rohe. PAGE 06

9 6. Learners Our major goal is to provide an environment appropriate to learner needs including delivery through preferred Māori learning styles. The percentage of Māori enrolled with us still exceeds ninety percent, well in excess of national targets. A low Tutor: Learner ratio at 10:1, with due regards to budget constraints ensures the varying needs of our learners are met. An integrated learner support service is provided. Last year we piloted a position of Student Support however found that the demand for the service did not justify maintaining it. We are offering additional one-on-one tutoring literacy support through our He Whakaaro programme but this will be discontinued as from the end of the year due to the demise of the Foundation Learning Pool (Literacy and Numeracy) programme. Formal arrangements with internal and external providers of health and social services also ensure appropriate and relevant support services to our predominantly Māori learners. Analysis of the 2008 Student Satisfaction Survey found we have maintained a high level of satisfaction from learners with our overall performance consistent with previous years. 7. Staff During 2008/2009 Mahana Stone left to concentrate on his forestry business but continues with some FITEC contract work, he was replaced by Don Taingahue who has considerable experience in the forest industry and moderation. Diploma of Forestry Management graduates, Cameron and Alana Nepe are working fulltime at the forestry centre, Cameron is tutoring and assisting Henry while Alana assists with the administration of the FITEC contract. Junior Akurangi was engaged on a needs basis through the year as a casual forestry tutor. Lorraine Brown has relocated to assist with Preparation For Services and, after filling in for Gwenda Findlay as the Case Manager for Papataiohi, Susie Pineaha is working on reception and TEC data Entry. Margaret Kapene is covering for Cilla Hawkins while she is on maternity leave and Haley is gaining experience with the Rapu Mahi Employment Placement and Support programme. Since the demise of Kokiri Taiohi Joelene Takai has taken on the role of Special Projects. In aquaculture one of our graduates, Heremia Smith is employed to assist with the farm and the development of learning resources. Specialist tutoring staff are contracted to deliver and assess unit standards at levels beyond the expertise of permanent staff through contractual arrangements that ensure their obligations and requirements are clearly defined and standards of accreditation are maintained. Ninety percent of our staff now hold, as a minimum the National Certificate in Adult Education and Training Level Four and some are completing a level 5 Certificate in Adult Literacy with Literacy Aotearoa. The level of commitment of staff to professional development opportunities and completion of qualifications relevant to their respective positions is at a very high standard. In all we have 25% of our staff either qualified or completing a level 5 Adult Literacy qualification. ANNUAL REPORT 09

Farming is based at Puketapu, our Forestry courses and programmes remain at the Ruapani Forestry Centre in Childers Road and fishing is industry based. Like any resources maintenance work has to be ongoing with Ruapani Centre still to receive a major facelift. A review of resources available to all programmes has confirmed they are well provided for with audio visual aids, teaching and industry resources and equipment. Formal arrangements are maintained with industry to access specialist equipment and resources too expensive or used too infrequently for us to purchase. In accordance with policy our up to date fleet has reduced vehicle maintenance costs. ANNUAL REPORT 09

12 9. New and Developing Programmes Programmes and services are reviewed and modified to ensure consistency with Iwi and regional development, industry and learner needs all of which are a priority in determining the range and content of programmes we provide. In response to identified training needs from our affiliated companies, Turanga FM and Turanga Health, we introduced three new programmes being the National Certificate in Radio (Announcing) Level 4, the National Certificate in Community Support Services (Foundation Skills) Level 2 and the National Certificate in Community Support Services (Human Services) Level 3. We also ran a programme previously developed for Youth Training, Manapou Mātātahi through the Training Opportunities strand for year olds at the request of Work and Income. National Certificate in Radio (Announcing) Level 4: Was approved by NZQA and therefore Student Achievement Component funding. Forest Industries Training and Education Council (FITEC) We secured a Preferred Provider status with this Forestry ITO enabling us to now deliver industry training throughout the Motu. National Certificate in Community Services (Foundation Skills) Level 2 Commenced delivery of this pre entry certificate in partnership with Tūranga Health through Training Opportunities National Certificate in Community Services (Human Services) Level 3 Assisted Turanga Health to secure funding through the Industry Partnerships Programme to upskill part time caregivers to take on fulltime work Agriculture ITO Commenced industry training through Ag ITO in shearing 10. Industry Strategy While retaining our focus on industries imperative to Iwi development this year has seen our industry strategy really take off with the FITEC work and it has been pleasing to at last make inroads into AgITO industry funding providing a Limited Credit Programme (LCP) in partnership with Paparatu Incorporation in shearing. We are currently negotiating with MSD for an Industry Partnerships contract in forestry involving Hikurangi Forest Farms and FITEC with Tūranga Ararau as the training provider. Working with Tūranga Health and the TDHB we have developed a pre entry community care training programme through Training Opportunities and on job training through an MSD funded Industry Partnerships initiative. 11. Tertiary Partners We continue to maintain very good working relationships with the Waiariki Institute of Technology - School of Forestry, Wood Manufacturing and Biotechnology, Te Wānanga O Raukawa, Manaakitanga Aotearoa and Literacy Aotearoa.

Outputs For TEC Programmes 2008 Planned Outputs 2008 Delivered Outputs 2008 Social Impact 85% of targeted students achieve a positive outcome Participants complete an average of 30 credits 65% of EFTS students complete a qualification 90% of students find the level of services provided by Tūranga Ararau satisfactory. 83% of targeted students achieved a positive outcome An average 33.7 credits were completed by participants 81% of EFTS students completed a qualification 96% satisfaction level with services provided by Tūranga Ararau Increased skills and knowledge base towards sustainable employment Enhanced economic and social well being Increased level of skills and knowledge necessary for Iwi economic and social development Increased level of skills and knowledge necessary for Iwi economic and social development Increased confidence in learning In comparison to 2007 positive outcomes for the targeted programmes have dropped from 91% to 83% which is 2% below the planned outputs and the percentage of learners exiting into employment also reduced by 17%. An analysis of the results attributed two factors to the decline in labour market outcomes particularly in employment. Due to the high employment locally in 2008 we had an increased number of learners with obvious barriers to work including a high number with mental health issues who are particularly challenged in the workplace. This combined with rising unemployment at the beginning of this year meant it was that much harder to place our learners into sustainable, and even seasonal, employment. 17.

20 TURANGA SOCIAL SERVICES HUI A TAU REPORT 2008/09 Vision: To promote, pursue and advance the cultural, spiritual, social well being, prosperity and resilience of Turanga Iwi. Ki nga whanau, ki nga hapu, ki nga Iwi huri noa i raro i te maru o Te Runanga o Turanganui a Kiwa, tena koutou katoa. As we all know there s been massive goings on within Turanga and surrounding districts that have impacted politically, economically and socially upon the well being of Turanga whanau. Whilst it is not the intent to go into all of the happenings, in brief Turanga Iwi continue to work with the Treaty Settlement process, the 2009 recession has had a major impact upon Turanga / Gisborne Districts in terms of reduction in the availability of resources and the rapid and unfortunate rise in unemployment. Recently, I was asked the question of a respected Iwi leader: How is social services going? I didn t hesitate to respond: To a certain degree, we will always have the high risk and those that we are funded to work with. My concern however, is for those whanau who have for many years been able to confidently care for themselves and their children, who unfortunately with the recession and the high unemployment rate in Turanga, we are now seeing that those whanau, are now without a reasonable income and not being able to meet their whanau needs nor their mortgages. In time, what is a likely outcome is that there will be mortgage closures and, in reality crowded home dwellings, where several whanau/families will be forced to live together in smaller homes with less access to resources. There is definitely a dichotomy between how and what Turanga Social Services is funded by the Ministry of Social Development to do and, what the community may perceive their needs are and/or in realty what those needs are. I am referring to what could be the developing in terms of communities at risk and for example, an increase in people who may become homeless. For Turanga Social Services we have been very pleased with our new home; Te Whare Oranga o Turanganui a Kiwa, (Turanga House), located at 331 Childers Road. For those who attended the blessing and opening 4 December 2008 would have felt like the rest of us the awesome feeling of accomplishment and achievement. We are indebted to Kaumatua Wirangi Pera for his guidance, his graciousness, naming the whare and karakia throughout the weeks leading up to the auspicious event. As I reflect upon the Opening TROTAK can be very pleased with the community tautoko it received. Mayor Feng Foon, Judge Caren Fox, Gisborne Police sat alongside our Kaumatua, chairperson, trustees and others, who all gave inspiring and uplifting presentations. I reflected on several staunch Iwi kuia, kaumatua who were no longer with us and knew that for sure, Aunty Heni would have been very pleased to have attended and witnessed the positive developments. It was a good day for Iwi. PAGE 18

21 The new environment has been welcomed by our whanau. They feel good about coming to Turanga House, sitting in Turanga A Mua conference/meeting space and participating in programs that are specifically designed to build social well being, prosperity and resilience within whanau. Turanga House is a healthy environment and there is a sense of belonging and advancement about this whare. Good news once again the national Child Youth & Family Assessment process was completed in July 2009 and full approval was received August Comments from the Assessors included: what impressed them most was the solidarity of services and staff and, the performance which clearly linked to staff having a clear understanding of purpose and job role. That is, how to do it and do it well! staff have a sensibility and a confidence of who they are and were able to articulate their job roles rationally no doubt when they return things will continue to go well because there are sound structures in place, staff are committed and want to be part of this iwi development The strategic direction and Key objectives for 2009/10 are: 1. General ongoing capacity development as indicated in Strategic Plan. This includes: a. Sustainability of current services and negotiations for contracting; b. Contracting and reporting of current contracts 2009 c. All external relationship; d. Iwi relationships and requirement through Board of Trustees; e. Internal staff development (including training etc); i. This includes performance review and rewards; f. Programme delivery of services review and ongoing development; i. This includes asset to exiting development; Ii. Possible extension to exiating services; g. Whanau, hapu and Iwi relationships (actual client base) 2. Ongoing relationship with Child Youth & Family (Local, regional, national) to further the development and implementation of TAIRAWHITI A MUA in Tairawhiti a Mua is an iwi driven initiative that aims to reduce youth offending in the Gisborne District, by addressing the needs and accountability of Maori offenders and their Whanau. 3.

25 NGA POUTAMA: EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT DIVISION MANAGEMENT REPORT TO HUI Ā TAU WHIRINGA Ā NUKU Service Description Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa The wide brief of Nga Poutama is about a vision to ensure our people are culturally, socially and economically vibrant and resilient. The education strategy is the largest Nga Poutama project. The education strategy is central to this division and its key objectives permeate through the entire iwi development projects we concentrate on. 2. Purchasers and Funders Our principal funders are Group Maori and the Schooling Improvement section of the Ministry of Education. The Ministry of Justice is another contractor. We also have relationships with organisations such as Environmental Risk Management Authority (ERMA), Gisborne Health Camp, and the Gisborne District Council. 3. The Education Environment We have been working this year with the Ministry of Education on our contract. This contract is the development of a success indicator tool we developed called Te Hau Tu. It states five critical values we believe are the benchmarks of a successful Turanga citizen. This year we completed the strategic plan for Te Hau Tu and we completed scoping the implementation plan. This project has much synergy with the Maori Education Strategic Plan called Ka Hikitia. This is some of the activity we completed: Successful proposal to the University of Waikato to have a posthumous honorary doctorate conferred to Nanny Heni Sunderland Conferment of the honorary doctorate at Te Wananga o Aotearoa posthumously to Heni Materoa Sunderland Mentoring 164 senior Maori High School students in Gisborne Sponsorship of the ROAR (Realize, Overcome, Aspire, Respond) Conference held in Gisborne for the second time.

Our meetings are all held at Turanga Ararau and we receive transport assistance from Turanga Health, of which we are very grateful. This secretariat is run by Wiremu Ruru. We have seen an increase in national representation by our kaumatua and increased meeting attendance. These are both great success indicators. 6. IT Report Wiremu Ruru currently edits our website. He ensures it is kept fresh and current. 7. Kahui Whanake This project is with the Ministry of Justice and is a crime prevention initiative. A highlight of this years delivery was a wananga for our rangatahi at Te Kuri a Tuatai Marae. This wananga was delivered by Peter Moeau. Our men kaumatua joined our rangatahi over the days and provided valued mentoring and supervision for the rangatahi. We published a Traditional Conflict Resolution Booklet as part of that Wananga. We also offered support to the Mau Rakau wananga held by CAYAD Turanga Health at Waihirere Marae. We dedicated a trophy to the top junior mau rakau student. Uncle Temple dedicated and presented this trophy. Over 60 rangatahi attended this very popular wananga. 8. Regional Work We have a strong relationship with Environmental Risk Management Authority (ERMA). We have supported iwi representation at the wananga held by this organisation. These wananga have been in Tauranga and Auckland. The Tauranga wananga was about rongoa and we sent a Turanga Health representatives as she was already working in this field. Elizabeth Moeau attended on our behalf. Both her and Uncle Temple attended the Auckland hui together. We continue to manage the Kahui Kaumatua position at Te Kainga Whaiora:Gisborne Childrens Health Camp. This year we had a strong Turanga Kaumatua presence at the opening of the new centre in March. The centre is a beautiful village for the children and we continue to grow our relationship. Our kaumatua Uncle Ma is currently experiencing some health concerns and we are keeping in close contact with him. We continue to ensure local representation at the national forums of Biosecurity. Nga Poutama staff were heavily involved with the Turanga Manuwhiriwhiri Claims. The Runanga managed the secretariat of which these staff completed the minute taking. This work area allowed us to fully commit to the vision and mission of the Runanga. 9. Staff Manager Contracts Administrator Maringi Brown Aroha Kerekere PAGE 24

Te Reo Irirangi o Tūranganui ā Kiwa (Turanga FM) Board, Management and staff have worked together during the past months, along side Kokomuka Solutions Limited, who facilitated Hui to review our present strategic plan. We have built another strategic plan that will take us forward until Mission, vision and value statements for the plan were established with objectives and goals for the 25 year period. Separate requirements that we aim to meet in 5 year increments along with yearly business plans will be produced to ensure that we are moving in the right direction to meet the objectives and goals required in the new strategic plan. Te Reo Irirangi o Turanganui will also focus on the defined objectives and expectations of our Owner and License Holder Te Rūnanga o Tūranganui ā Kiwa, who ask that we work on ensuring the retention and revitalisation of Te Reo Māori, and provide radio programs and services specific to Tūranganui ā Kiwa Iwi development. Radio Board The Radio Board of Te Reo Irirangi o Turanganui a Kiwa consists of Ron Nepe, who is the Chairman, Mini Westrupp, Betty Hauraki and Tama Brown. The Board work hard to ensure that they meet and carry out their Governance role in a proper and respectful manner that allows staff to fore fill their roles and obligations. Staff. Even though Aubrey Gibson, Hinehou Smiler and Tapunga Nepe, have gone onto fields specific to their own individual development, staff numbers have remained the same (11). Cushla Tangere-Manuel accepted a full time position but will also do some part-time talkback host interviews. She will also work with Tia Takarangi to produce Te Reo and bi-lingual radio programs that meet the requirements of our strategic plan. Host for the Whanau show Lindsay Henry is another part time staff member of the station. All staff members are busy working to meet the requirements of the new strategic plan as well as ensuring that we address those parts of the TMP Smart plan as and when required. We are also looking to develop new radio programs ensuring that we maintain the high standards we already have in place and are planning to re-launch new Maori Programs in February PAGE 26

Tairāwhiti Junior Kapa Haka competition Tamararo Tūranga FM staff had an enjoyable day on Saturday 6 June 2009 when the Tairāwhiti Junior Kapa Haka competition was held at the Showgrounds Event Centre broadcasting the event live. The normal high standard set by the seniors was maintained and in some instances enhanced by the 14 primary school groups and the 3 Rangatahi roopu who performed. The Primary School winners were Te Kura o Manutuke and they with Te Kura o Awapuni, TKKM o Kawakawa mai Tawhiti, Te Kura o Te Wharau and Te Pihinga a Hauiti will represent Tairawhiti at the National Primary Schools Kapa Haka Competition in November 2009 which will be held here in Turanganui a Kiwa. Ritana won the Secondary School competition with the Turanga Tane-Turanga Wahine roopu coming second. Kia Whai Oranga a Mokopuna. This program was launched at Whakato Marae on Monday 3 rd August. It was proposed that it be launched on Wednesday 29 th July during Maori Language Week but, unfortunately as with all things on the Marae, Tangihanga take precedence. Albie Steward gave a brief explanation of the radio program and its purpose which was to produce a Te Reo Maori program that met the requirements of all gathered as well as outlining the Health & Safety programme initiated by Allan Brown. The objectives of this particular programme were to: Highlight the history and significance of Te Kotuku; To promote a safe playing environment To promote injury prevention; Staff of the Kohanga Reo Trust applauded the initiative and felt that it aligns with the structure of their curriculum Te Whariki that will assist Kohanga Reo kaimahi and mokopuna achieve the expected outcomes. The program was broadcasted weekly at 9:30am on Wednesdays and began on Wednesday 5 th August. This program was also submitted as an entry to the 2009 Te Taura Whiri I Te Reo Maori Language Radio program and was judged the winner of that category.

Tairāwhiti Senior Kapa Haka competition Tamarāro Senior Tamarāro 2009 was held on Saturday 5 September at the Showgrounds event centre. Before the Tamararo competition began a rousing powhiri was held, when the mauri of Te Matatini, which was brought by Mataatua, for Tairawhiti to hold and nurture until 2011 when Matatini will be held again here in Turanganui a Kiwa. As this was not a qualifying year for the Te Matatini competition the number of groups performing was lower then last year and there were 5 Whakataetae Roopu and 2 Whakangahau Roopu performing. Whangara mai Tawhiti won on the day and Waihirere were the runners up. Tū Te Manawa Maurea was voted by those present as the people s choice. Primary Schools National Kapa Haka These competitions were held a Rugby Park and ran from Monday 2 November to Wednesday 4 November. There were 27 groups from across the motu and Tairawhiti was represented by Te Kura o Awapuni, Te Pihinga a Hauiti, Te Kura o Manutuke, Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Kawakawa mai Tawhiti and Te Kura o Te Wharau. At the end of the three day competition Te Wharekura o Rakaumanga were judged the winners with Te Kura o Manutuke coming second. The way this event was organised and run was a credit to the many volunteers who assisted and if we can bring the same skills to the Matatini Event that take place here in 2011 then I m sure we ll have another enjoyable few days. Literacy Program E Tipu E Rea Staff members worked very hard with Te Whare o Te Matuaranga and Turanga Ararau personnel putting together another English Language whanau learning literacy program for radio. The lessons are broadcast twice a day, in the morning and again in the afternoon, 4 days a week. PAGE 28

32 FINANCE AND ECONOMIC BASE HUI A TAU REPORT 28 November 2009 Staff: Tama Brown - Te Aitanga a Mahaki Emily Nepe - Rongowhakaata Bridget Ingram - Te Aitanga a Mahaki Faith Pitcher - Ngati Porou Annual Result For 2009 The Group operating profit was a good surplus of $317,869, similar to last years result. Improvements in income from Operations and Turanga Social Services, Turanga Ararau maintaining its income and Ruamano paying a dividend for the first time were positives for the year. Equity at 82% of Total Assets is very sound and working capital ratio of 3 to 1 is very good. Main assets of property and quota increased in value during the year. Total Assets reached $10 million this year, while this is very positive, it does trigger another form of accounting that we don t really want to be involved with. We will need to ensure that total assets are below $10 million next year. This can be achieved by paying of more debt. Finance Our small team also provided financial services to the following subsidiaries and groups, Turanga FM, Ruamano Quota, Ruamano Fishing, Ruamano Vessel, Turanga Manuwhiriwhiri, Te Pou a Haokai, Tairawhiti Land Development Trust, Tairawhiti Cultural Development Trust, Tairawhiti Maori Golf and Tairawhiti Strengthening Families Group. Economic Base Active Investments The sale of the vessel has relieved Ruamano of high risk and high costs. Ruamano continues to lease out its quota and review other opportunities that arise in the fishing industry. The Cra3 quota was cut 14% during the year, but the remaining ACE attracted a lot of interest which saw lease price rise by 30%. Ruamano made a profit and paid a dividend to a total value of $70,000. Nga Wai e Rua value increased another $129,000 to $2.88 million reflecting the recent work carried out. Additional work during the year included replacing the stairwell roof. Further work this year will be Foyer and stair well renovations. The building is 100% occupied. 331 Childers Road was purchased during the year and is the home of Turanga Social Services. They cover all costs associated with this building and ensure it provides a reasonable return.

33 Passive Investments Our low risk consistent interest returns provides steady income. However, as they matured, they were used to reduce debt and purchase property. Our portfolio reduced from $774,000 to $491,000 during the year. Thanks go to our small team especially with the work they put into the Kaumatua Flats this year Kia ora Tama Brown ANNUAL REPORT 09

34 Kahui Kaumatua Ka tukuna atu te manutukutuku kia rere He karanga reo Haere atu te manutukutuku ki te nui ki te rahi mai i te pu o te tonga ko Te Kuri a Paoa, e tahuti ana i nga parae o Manutuke ka whanatu ra ki te riu o Mahaki. Karanga mai, karanga mai, karanga mai. As the Chair commented our Kahui Kaumatua have worked splendidly for the year. There hasn t been a topic or issue they have shied away from. They are driven for a better future for our iwi and are uncompromising in their pursuit of this. There have been many highlights for this year. The attendance and support of Auntie Heni Materoa Sunderland's honorary doctorate conferment was one of these. Heavy rain did not dampen the spirits or pride of our people that day. Our kaumatua fully supported acknowledging her skills and knowledge on that day. Another particular highlight was the opening of the new Gisborn Health Camp, Te Kainga Whaiora:Childrens Village. There was a very strong Turanganui a Kiwa attendance in support of the staff, management and Uncle Ma as our representative Kaumatua. Other highlights were as follows: Opening of new Waioeka rest stops, Te Awa a Tamatea GGHS opening of Te Whare Matauranga Proposal and successful Te Matatini 2011 Bid Te Kotahitanga Launch Finally by January 2010 every Turanganui a Kiwa Marae will have a yellow finger board signing clearly indicating where the Marae is. The Kaumatua asked for these in We have just completed the planning and compliance for these signs. A successful lottery grant allowed us to fund the installation of these signs. The kaumatua believe that this is a strong and unique feature of our region and have chosen to feature this. The following are a list and brief of all of the guest speakers we hosted at the 2009 Kahui Kaumatua meetings. Once again our thanks must go to Sharon and her staff at Turanga Ararau for their continued support of the meeting venue and catering. Ka mihi nui ki a koutou. 1.
