TAKE NOTICE / ME ARO TONU 

Take notice of the things around you, remember the simple things that give you joy – me aro tonu ki ngā mea māmā noa i ngākau harikoa ai koe.

 

GIVE / TUKUA 

Give your time, your words, your presence; tukua te wā ki a koe, ō kupu, ko koe tonu.

 

BE ACTIVE / ME KORI TONU 

Be active, do what you can – whāia te mea ka taea e koe, enjoy what you do – kia pārekareka tāu i whai ai, move your mood – kia pai ake ō piropiro. 

 

CONNECT / ME WHAKAWHANAUNGA 

Connect, talk and listen – me kōrero, me whakarongo, be there – me whakawātea i a koe, feel connected – me rongo i te whanaungatanga.

 

KEEP LEARNING / ME AKO TONU 

Keep learning and embrace new experiences, awhitia te wheako hou, see opportunities – kimihia ngā ara hou, surprise yourself – me ohorere koe i a koe anō.
