Hari huringa tau, 100 years old!
Coralie has been participating in the TPO Noho Pakari (Sit and be Fit) programme in Wairau on a regular basis since we started.
She is a wonderful role model to us all. She drives herself to class, lives on her own and is a very keen gardener, growing her own vegetables. Coralie is a humble, friendly, respectful person who engages & interacts with others easily. She smiles & laughs often and is always willing to try new things at Noho Pakari.
She has fully embraced the Māori culture -sings waiata, waiata-a-ringa, poi, rākau, tira, handweights, plus line dancing, resistance bands & all the other crazy things we do to keep our bodies moving. When we sing & boogie to the song “You’re 16, You’re Beautiful” -we remember that was only only 84 years ago for Coralie!!
