Te Pā o Rākaihautū

Te Pā o Rākaihautū Imagine a world where all whānau are able to take up their “kō” and confidently carve out new worlds for themselves, just as Rākaihautū did.

This page has been set up to provide information on Te Pā o Rākaihautū, an innovative 21st century learning village that will incorporate early childhood, primary, secondary and tertiary education on one site in Ōtautahi, Te Waipounamu. In Te Pā o Rākaihautū we aim to remove the artificial walls between early childhood, primary, secondary and tertiary education; to deeply embed our values, our stories and our places in all that we do; and to provide a truly seamless lifelong learning experience for the whole whānau. Imagine a world where learning is exciting, challenging and meaningful; where our marae, our whenua, and our moana are the classrooms; where our kaupapa, stories and knowledge are central to the curriculum; and where our tamariki, mātua, taua and poua can learn side by side. Imagine a world where academic attainment does not mean compromising your culture and identity; where Māori is the language of choice in the playground; where academic, sporting and cultural brilliance is the norm. That is our vision for Te Pā o Rākaihautū. "Tamaiti akona i te pā, tu ana ki te ao, tau ana”
A child educated to be strong in their own identity stands confident in the world.
