Te Rūnanga o Ōtākou Congratulations
Talia has been involved at Ōtākou since childhood. As she has grown, we have watched with immense pride as she attained leadership roles at high school, and accomplished many other achievements including representation at the Youth Parliament in 2010.
Ōtākou Rūnanga nominated one of our rakatahi, Talia Ellison, for an opportunity to be mentored by the Mayor of Dunedin, Dave Cull, as part of the Tuia – Mayoral Rangatahi Mentoring Programme, and we’re very pleased to announce that Talia was successful with her nomination! The programme is run nationwide, and offers the opportunity for one rangatahi to be mentored by their local mayor and attend four national wānanga aimed at personal development towards being a future leader within their communities.
Talia Ellison.
