Nau mai, haere mai ki te pānui o Pursuit

This is a great opportunity for Pursuit to keep our whanau informed. 

March 2023 - Pursuit Movements

Back in Flaxmere office


What a start to 2023! With things slowly back in progress, Pursuit was able to go back to their office and get back to mahi, adapting to the changes after Cyclone Gabrielle. Despite the morning traffic jams, we remained committed to helping our communities and helping our Rangatahi throughout the recovery of Hawkes Bay.  

Pursuit New Uniforms

Pursuit has got a fresh new look! 

We have a new uniform including T-shirts and Hoodies that are stylish, comfortable and warm so if you see anyone rocking the new uniform, come and say hi to us.

Te Ara Matihiko 2nd Cohort 2023

Once everything was settled down with Cyclone Gabrielle we were able to continue on with our Te Ara Matihiko course and help our rangatahi into employment or education.

We were able to take our students to have a interview with The Warehouse Hastings so they could get experience on how an interview can be conducted.

We took our students to Achievement NZ where they help Rangatahi get their NCEA levels and help them move forward with their journey towards employment.

We also had Budget First come to our office to show our students how to budget their money efficiently and effectively.

Then we celebrated our students success at their graduation where they presented their project solution to their friends and whanau that they had been working on over the 6 weeks course and had a massive Hakari afterwards. 

Website Development

Our digital team have been creating website for local marae so that they can showcase everything about their marae. 

We have implemented booking systems on their websites so whanau can see what events are coming up at their marae and also so whanau can book their own events in easily. 

The websites we have completed are Ruahapia Marae and Te Ruahina Marae.

If you are interested in a website for a Marae, Kohanga or anything else then email anaru.ratapu@pursuitnz.com

April 2023 - Pursuit Movements

Te Ara Matihiko Reunion

We invited all of our past Te Ara Matihiko cohorts to our office for a shared lunch so we could catch up to see how everyone is doing on their journey towards education or employment.

It was great seeing everyone, having great laughs, sharing more good times together and hearing how our students are making moves for themselves in this world.

Manuhiri

Thank you to Tessa & her team at Mahi for Youth and Russell & Becks from Jobs and Skills Hub for coming in, connecting with us, seeing what we do here at Pursuit and how we can help each other and our Ranagatahi.

Expos

Pursuit attended 2 events in May (both on the same day). 

One event was Tech week expo in Palmerston North that our digital team attended to represent Pursuit and debut our new wellness tool. 

The second event was a Youth Expo at the Flaxmere Community Centre to show the Rangatahi what services are out there to assist them with what they need help with.

Both teams had a great time and learnt a lot about the technology sector in New Zealand and about what type of help our Rangatahi need in Flaxmere.
