Matariki – the Māori New Year

Matariki is the Māori name for a group of stars known as the Pleiades star cluster. The Māori New Year is marked by the rise of this star cluster and the sighting of the next new moon.
In 2019, the Matariki cluster will set on 27 May and return from 25-28 June. The Matariki period is 25 June-3 July.
Matariki provides an opportunity for students to explore the values of diversity, community, and participation, and respect for self and others.
