Niuen facts
Fact 1. Niue’s highest point is part of the inland plateau. It is near the settlement of Mutalau. It is 223 feet (about 68 meters) above sea level.
Fact 2
Niue is a large coral island ten miles by seven miles (16 kilometres by 11 kilometres). Some 350 miles (600 kilometres) southeast of Samoa.
Fact 3
Niue has no strategic trade significance and was not annexed by one of the European powers until 1900, long after most other Pacific islands.
Fact 4
Niue was formed by volcanic upheavals; the island sits atop 100-foot (30-meter) cliffs rising straight out of deep ocean. That is why it is sometimes called “the Rock.”
Fact 5
More Niueans live in New Zealand than in Niue.
6. There Used to Be an Elephant on the Island
Yes, in 2015 it was possible to see an elephant on the island when an Asian elephant called Anjalee was flown in to Niue to be quarantined on the island before making her way to the Auckland Zoo in New Zealand.
7. Niue is One of the Last Countries in the World to See the Sunset Each Day
Due to Niue’s position on the International Date Line, Niue is one of the last countries in the world to see the end of the day. In fact, because New Zealand and Niue are on opposite sides of the International Date Line, the Tuesday morning flight from Auckland arrives in Niue on Monday afternoon despite being a three-hour flight.

Taha Wairua
Task description: For my last two taha.
Taha Wairua (Spiritual well-being - personal beliefs)
Taha hinengaro (mental and emotional wellbeing)
I didn't finish Taha Hinengaro but im going to tell you about it.
Exploring your way to wellbeing through taha hinengaro
Carve out a special moment in your day to do something nice for yourself. It could be enjoying a cup of coffee with a hoamahi, listening to your favourite song while you work, or taking a walk around the block to get some fresh air.
Take 10 minutes at the start of the work day to do a group mindfulness meditation. This will help you to focus on the day ahead.
Make a gratitude wall in your lunchroom or another shared workspace – invite people to bring in photos or write down the things they are grateful for in their lives right now. It’s a nice visual reminder of the things that make us feel good, and it’s cool to read what other people are grateful for too!
Create a wellbeing space – somewhere people can go to do their own wellbeing practices such as meditation, karakia or physical exercise.
Take the opportunity during workplace hui (meetings) to ask everyone how they are and really listen to the answers.
Start a wellbeing committee – think of it as a social club, with a wellbeing focus! The goal is to come up with monthly activities for people to get involved in that will give their wellbeing a boost.
Challenge hoamahi to do a walking hui – getting out of your usual work environment and being active will help generate more innovative ideas! Even if you work outdoors it’s a good idea to take yourself away from your normal environment.
Give a compliment – acknowledge someone in your workplace who makes your day that much brighter! It’ll give you warm fuzzies too.
Complete another random act of kindness for someone at your workplace!
