Whanganui-a-Tara Regional Wānanga

We have the privilege of gathering as a MAC whānau at Horouta Marae in Porirua. The day will begin with a pōwhiri and kōrero from ahikā, setting the cultural and relational foundation for our time together through whanaungatanga.

Throughout the day, participants will engage in a series of inspiring and practical learning opportunities. We are honoured to hear from Leanne Ōtene, Tumu Whakarae (National Director) of Te Arahou o Aotearoa Trust, who will share the vision and direction of our kaupapa. Together, we will unpack the many taonga gifted to us by our iwi, rūnanga, marae, and rangatira, reflecting on how these have strengthened our practice and exploring how they can continue to guide and inspire our work with tamariki.

A panel of experienced colleagues will then explore how we can intentionally continue to grow success for all tamariki, and particularly tamariki Māori, through a Te Ao Māori lens, sharing practical insights and whakaaro from their own leadership journeys.

The final session with Kim Nikora, will align the morning kaupapa to upholding Te Tiriti o Waitangi in Schools including highlighting Tau mai te Reo 2040 aspirations.

Grounded in the MAC Kaupapa, this Regional Wānanga is designed to strengthen leadership, deepen understanding of culturally sustaining practice, and support kura to lead with confidence, authenticity, and purpose. Throughout the day there will be opportunities for shared kai, meaningful kōrero, and whanaungatanga as we continue to learn from and alongside one another.

Mauri ora e te whānau.
