Kura Wānanga
The Kura Wānanga is a triyearly, Māori-led and Māori-focused kaupapa designed for rangatahi within the mainstream school system. The goal for the Kura Wānanga is to provide our young people with leadership skills, opportunities to reconnect to their whakapapa and knowledge to take back to their kura, whānau, hapū and iwi that they otherwise may not get during their time at school.
The Kura Wānanga takes students in years 12 and 13 from high schools across Wellington to marae around the rohe where we enable them to learn from kai kōrero, our crew of tuākana and each other. Hosting these kaupapa at marae provide a safe and comfortable space outside of the typical learning environment where they can explore the three questions at the core of the kaupapa; Nō hea koe – where are we from? Ko wai koe – who are we? E haere ana koe ki hea – where are we going?
Led by Kahukura, Kuini and Billy alongside a group of dedicated volunteer tuakana, the Kura Wānanga crew strive to deliver a transformative experience rooted in their Praxis, Tuia, and BGI learnings.
Location: Wellington high schools and other significant sites
Schedule: Three wānanga sessions throughout the school year, along with monthly catch-ups (School calendar dependant).
