Māori Education & Development

“Ruia te manapou, ruia te manatawa kia hauhake”

“Sow the seeds of language, that they may flourish and be gathered in time."

At the heart of our mahi is this guiding whakatauākī — a call to share te reo and mātauranga Māori widely, ensuring they are experienced in authentic, accessible, and empowering ways. We are dedicated to removing barriers and fostering genuine understanding through meaningful engagement.

We deliver learning that strengthens identity, deepens cultural knowledge, and empowers both Māori and non-Māori to engage confidently with te ao Māori. Our team of experienced educators, language specialists, and cultural leaders share a unified purpose: to uphold the lifeforce of te reo, nurture its growth, and ensure it continues to flourish across Aotearoa.
