Staff and students tour the nearly completed Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom building.

This was the second visit that our staff and students had been invited to and a lot had changed since the first tour in April.  

Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom will be the home to:

• Piriharakeke Generation Inspiration Centre, a Maori Museum and Gallery representing stories of Ngati Raukawa ki te Tonga. It will encompass a high quality gallery that will be the pataka of Ngati Raukawa taonga and this will be supported by Te Taitoa Maori o Te Awahou Trust
• Oranjehof, New Zealand’s National Dutch Museum that will inform, educate and inspire New Zealand about its Dutch connections. This is being developed and supported by the Dutch Connection Trust
• Foxton Community Hub is the living room for the Foxton community. The Community Hub will house:
  • The Foxton library
  • The Foxton Visitor Service Centre
