“Choosing a school for Ariki was a really big decision. We wanted a safe place where he can excel in his learning and get a strong grounding in te reo Māori and tikanga Māori. This is really important to us and we felt he would get this through a kura Māori. The kura provides a whānau environment for learning and we’ve encouraged him to think of the kura as his whānau. This has really helped him settle in to kura.” Mike Tana
