Te Puna - a spring, Ihi - life force, Manaaki - to care for, be hospitable.

​

We want to empower whānau to make reo Māori their language of every day use, and ensure that tikanga Māori is woven into everyday life. 

​

Our Pae Tawhiti/ Our Vision:

​

By 2040 we will have an established community of ten to twelve whanau (40 – 60 individuals) whose primary language with their tamariki and mokopuna is Te Reo Māori. We will support each other, meet regularly and engage in whānau orientated activities.
