Te Paepae O Aotea

On Wednesday 1 Huitanguru (February), Te Paepae o Aotea opened its doors as a newly combined school, catering for Years 7 to Year 13. As a result of a school fire and some community consultation, it was decided by the Ministry of Education that this type of school would be the best option moving forward. The Establishment Board for the school has had a working relationship with Te Runanga o Ngāti Ruanui and Te Korowai o Ngāruahine.

Ng Ruahine Wh Nau Day

In collaboration with Te Ūkaipō we held our whānau day on Saturday 28 Kohitātea (January). Over 200 uri descended upon Wai o Rua, ki Whakaahurangi – the Stratford Aquatic Centre to enjoy a day of whakawhanaungatanga. It was an amazing day, full of swimming, laughter, games, manu and pizza.......lots of pizza! No amount of rain or wind was going to dampen this special day for our iwi. We’d like to thank Ngāruahine Iwi Health for their support and the wonderful kaimahi at Wai o Rua. A fabulous way to start the year off for Ngāruahine!
