Celebrate Matariki 2025 at The Olympic: A Time to Reflect, Reconnect, and Rejuvenate
As the stars of Matariki rise in the winter sky, Aotearoa comes together to celebrate a uniquely Māori New Year. At The Olympic Pools and Fitness Centre, we’re proud to honour this special time with a focus on whānau, wellbeing, and community connection.
What is Matariki?
Matariki marks the reappearance of the Pleiades star cluster, signaling the Māori New Year. It’s a time to reflect on the past, celebrate the present, and plan for the future. Traditionally, it’s a moment to remember loved ones who have passed, share kai (food), and set intentions for the year ahead.
Matariki at The Olympic
This Matariki, we’re inviting our community to slow down, reconnect, and recharge. Here’s how we’re celebrating:
- Happy Hour Prices all day: Bring your friends, your whanau or just yourself for discounted swimming all day.
Why Matariki Matters to Us
At The Olympic, we believe in holistic wellbeing—not just physical fitness, but emotional and cultural health too. Matariki is a perfect time to pause, breathe, and realign with what truly matters: community, connection, and care.
