Tū Kanohi Ora is a Te Tapuae o Rehua initiative supported by Te Puni Kōkiri to foster and enhance Māori educational achievement in Christchurch secondary schools. The initiative utilises a mentoring model to support rangatahi in education, to enable them to gain sufficient and relevant NCEA credits to pursue their study and career choices. Tū Kanohi Ora partners Te Tapuae o Rehua with six Christchurch secondary schools. The programme is uniquely designed to work with individual schools, their principals and relevant staff to encourage Māori students to succeed in education.
