A special and unique place of learning, Te Wānanga o Raukawa has become recognised over the last 30 years as an opportunity for all t

o learn within a tikanga Māori community under the principles of Whakatupuranga Rua Mano or Generation 2000. Whakatupuranga Rua Mano captured the health and wellbeing aspirations of the founding iwi of Te Wānanga o Raukawa known as the ART Confederation; Ngāti Toa Rangatira, Te Āti Awa ki Whakarongotai and Ngāti Raukawa ki te Tonga iwi in the lower North Island of Aotearoa, New Zealand.

Nei rā te reo mihi e rere atu ana ki a koutou ngā tauira o Te Whare Oranga kua tau mai i tēnei ata ki tō tātou nei Wānanga.

This noho marks the final one for our undergraduate ākonga across Kaitiakitanga Pūtaiao, Toiora Whānau, Kawa Oranga, and Rongoā. We are especially looking forward to sharing our beautiful campus with our year one students, many of whom are visiting for the very first time.

Whakarongo ki te tangi a te manu nei, hui, hui, hui-huia! Nā te manu mātarae o Ngāti Huia tā tātou kaupapa i Arataki i tōna tīmatanga, e 50 tau ki muri. Nō te wiki kua taha ake, ka whakanuitia te kaupapa ki te wānanga reo o Te Kotahitanga ki te Tonga, e kīia nei ‘Ki Tua o Whakatupuranga Rua Mano! 🤎🌺💫

Ānō te ātaahua, te āhua reka hoki o te noho tahi o ngā iwi e toru! Haruru ana Te Wānanga o Raukawa, Te Marae o Raukawa, Te Whare Tapu o Rangiātea, Te Motu o Kāpiti hoki, ki te waiata, ki te kata, ki te wānanga, ki te ako, ki te reo o ngā mātua tūpuna hoki; he oranga tangata, he oranga whānau, he oranga iwi hoki. Kua tīmata rā te whakakaupapa i te toitūtanga ki te āpōpō, Whakatupuranga Toru Mano maranga mai! 🤠🌟
