Welcome to TOA 2013!
Tēnā tātou,
Nau mai, piki mai, kake mai ki runga i tō tātou hīkoi a TOA kua takohahia e Te Wānanga o Aotearoa.
Welcome to TOA 2013!! Tau Ora is excited to present another year of TOA for our Kaimahi that has exciting new website features and resources.
TOA is the TWoA pedometer competition that takes place from May-August every year. Teams of five wear a pedometer and start stepping for 17 weeks. Every step taken is recorded using the TOA website or via text message and as you enter your steps you will be taken on your own virtual journey. This year we are excited to announce that our virtual Hikoi will be around the East, North East & Outback Australia beginning in Sydney and ending in Uluru-Kata Tjuta (previously known as Ayres Rock).
The journey will take you through a discovery of the East, North East and Outback Australia and provide you with some information and history of the area as well as a local Dreamtime story.
The Hīkoi runs for 13 weeks starting on Monday 6th May and finishing on Friday 30 August 2013.
No reira kia kaha ra whanau, kia hikoi ai tatou ki te whenua o nga Tangata Moemoea.
Na matou o Tau Ora

"This is my son Jordan. I'll do anything for him! my dad died of obesity when I was 17 and I could see that I was heading down the same road. So thank you TOA staff for helping me change my lifestyle so Jordan can have his dad around for longer than I had mine. I've lost 5kg so far and aim to lose 19 more. Doing it for my wife and kids!!!"
