Objectives

‘Ka whanawhana ai te tīwhanawhana o kahukura i te rangi.”

(Let the arch of the rainbow glisten)

Kahukura has four main objectives:

To provide tamariki with the opportunity to research and learn about Ngāi Tahu cultural knowledge, history and te reo in a way that encourages whānau involvement, is supported by schools and celebrated by Ngāi Tahu.

To motivate tamariki to learn about Ngāi Tahu knowledge, history, culture and te reo.
To provide a solution for parents and whānau wanting their children to have the opportunity to receive supportive learning that is specific to Ngāi Tahu and Māori.
To help schools to support whānau aspirations for tamariki/mokopuna.

These objectives will be achieved by developing, implementing and reviewing a learning programme that provides a tailored positive learning experience for Ngāi Tahu students focusing directly on age appropriate cultural knowledge and Te Reo Māori.

It will likewise support all students living in the Ngāi Tahu region to gain valuable knowledge and information about local iwi history and kaupapa.
