Kete Kākano Rua o Mātou Kura - Our Bicultural Kete

Mike Fowler —

We acknowledge Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri as holding mana whenua over the land of this rohe. We appreciate and honour our partnership with Ngāi Tahu, Ngāi Tūāhuriri and Mātauraka Mahaanui in developing and celebrating our bicultural narrative at Te Puna Wai o Waipapa. This kete is intended to record key aspects of that narrative.

The bicultural kete includes:

  • Background to our Māori name and the names of our buildings
  • Our cultural narrative in the design of Auripo and Wainuku hubs
  • Important symbols and colours in our kura
  • Our whakapapa
  • Significant plantings

You can access the kete here.

We'll continue to add to the kete as we develop our bicultural partnership.
