Cultural & Personal Identity

A bicultural approach is evident in both curriculum and pedagogy. All new students write a baby story when they start at Hiwa-i-te-rangi. A book is published each year showcasing our student’s stories, art and investigative writing.

"One of our goals has always been to build confidence, pride and security for these Mothers and their Whanau through connection to their cultural identity. With this process we have seen an improvement in the student 's confidence in tikanga, their confidence on the Marae and respect for their elders."

Eleanor Barker, Manager Hiwa-i-te-rang
