If you are on a journey of discovery, our Te Puna ō Te Mātauranga programme offers you the opportunity to learn about Māori language, culture and tikanga, with a strong Te Tai Tokerau focus.

Te Reo

Our Te Reo programme is grounded in marae protocol, customs, and values. At the heart of all our learning here is Te Reo, our rich and beautiful Māori language, which opens up so many aspects of Māori culture and knowledge.
 

Journey

Many of our mature students come with a lot of life experience and a real thirst for knowledge. Others come at the very beginning of their journey. Joining us here will involve making a big commitment.
 

Warm welcome

No matter who you are, how old you are, or where you come from, if you come with a desire to learn and to share, you will find a warm, inclusive environment at Te Puna ō Te Mātauranga.

“I felt there was something missing. I needed to get in touch with me as a Maori. The only way to do that was here at this course. It is one of the best in the north and I am from the north, so who better to learn from than my own.”
