Matariki Online Competition

Congratulations to the winners of the 2024 Waikato District Libraries Matariki competition!

In celebration of Matariki (Maaori New Year), Waikato District Libraries host an annual competition where people can write a Matariki themed poem or create a picture to be printed on to a clock that reflects what Matariki means to you.

The winners of the clock categories were:

  • Abby Hopcroft (16+)
  • Kaiya Schaeffers (10-15)
  • Natalie Jones-Brock (5-9)

The winners of the poetry category were:

  • Gina Prendergast (16+)
  • Ngatirangi (10-15)
  • Taniela Fale (5-9)

The winner of each category received a $100 gift voucher.

For every student that entered, their school received one entry to win $300 worth of books. All entries went into the draw, with the winning school chosen randomly.

The winning schools are Huntly West Primary and Puketaha School. They each get a $300 voucher for their schools.
