On Monday 13th June we celebrated the opening of Hātea, our new teaching and learning spaces. These have been several years in the making. Delays from COVID-19 couldn't dull the celebrations. We were delighted to have them blessed by Matua Joby Hopa, mana whenua from Pehiaweri Marae. The kura has also been gifted korero from mana whenua which is proudly displayed as Taonga in the new learning spaces. ![]()
Dignitaries at the blessing included Director of Education Hira Gage, Emily Henderson (Tikipunga High School Alumni), Board Members and local iwi. ![]()
These beautiful spaces were designed with significant input from our kaiako. They have been designed to encourage collaboration and learning. Our values are visible throughout the spaces which is also important as they are the basis of who and how we are. ![]()
Our students deserve learning facilities of this standard. We are fortunate that our growing roll, particularly in the junior and middle school, have enabled this. On Thursday 17th June we held our student-led whanau learning hui in Hātea. It was wonderful to have our whanau in Hātea as we value the partnership we have with them in the educational journey of our tamariki. ![]()
The new learning spaces are a celebration for all students, past, present and future.
