Education Services
Kia tupu, kia rea, kia ea ngā moemoeā
Supporting our tamariki, rangatahi , and whānau in their education journey is a vehicle for enabling the development of our future leaders and a key priority for Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangatira.
Our Education and Employment Services provides a wide range of services that prioritizes Ngāti Toa Rangatira but also recognizes the need to support and manaaki others who live in our community.
Our Education services are delivered across two areas; Te Kete Mātauranga and Te Kete Whakapuāwai.
Te Kete Mātauranga is centred on the principles of whanaungatanga, manaakitanga and rangatatiratanga. We do this by acknowledging the wealth of expertise within whānau and aim to work together using a strengths-based approach.
Our mission is to ensure the provision of high-quality education services, information, and resources to support the educational achievement and progression of Ngāti Toa whānau. We aim to support learner-specific needs through the development of Mauri Ora plans and effective collaboration between whānau, iwi, and schools.
Te Kete Whakapuāwai is the Education Programme team. We work to design and deliver kaupapa that meet the strategic goals of Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangatira and Pātaka Toa.
Our mission is to support our whānau to learn, thrive, and prosper through programs that nurture and inspire connection, collaboration, and innovation in the education and employment space. Building on the storehouse of knowledge that is Pātaka Toa we foster pathways that provide opportunities for our whānau, hapū iwi, and community to experience success.
