Mahia te mahi hei painga moo te iwi: Building Our Future Together

The creation of Te Taamatatanga o Pukekohekohe is a powerful example of community unity and dedication. What began as a vision has now become a reality, thanks to the tireless support of our local whaanau, schools, and community members.

These photos highlight the essence of this collective effort. From the generous donations of resources to the many hands that help setting up our kura, each contribution reflects the pride and responsibility we all share for this new chapter in our community’s story. It’s about more than just creating a physical space for education—it’s about nurturing an environment where our values and aspirations can flourish.

The involvement of our whaanau has been especially moving. Seeing families and community members working together to prepare the school for its opening day showcases the strength of our collective spirit. Te Taamatatanga o Pukekohekohe is not just a school; it’s a testament to what we can achieve together.

This shared effort has laid the foundation for a future where our tamariki can grow in a space deeply rooted in our cultural identity and values. The kura represents the power of community, where everyone’s effort has contributed to something truly meaningful.

As we open Te Taamatatanga o Pukekohekohe, we do so with a sense of pride in what we’ve built together. This kura is more than a place of learning—it’s a living example of what can be achieved when a community unites with a common purpose. The journey ahead is bright, and the strong foundation we’ve established will continue to support our tamariki and our community for generations to come.
