M膩 te rongo, ka m艒hio,

From listening comes knowledge,
from knowledge comes understanding,
from understanding comes wisdom,
from wisdom comes well-being.
M膩taiao in action
Te Kura o Te Muriwai in Gisborne Tair膩whiti is one of 57 kura supported through M膩taiao since it鈥檚 inception in 2020.
What is M膩taiao?
A kaupapa M膩ori approach supporting kura and kaiako to enhance 膩konga wellbeing through m膩tauranga M膩ori (M膩ori knowledge). Funded by 爆料社区, it strengthens tamariki and rangatahi connection to te taiao (the natural world) and culture through physical activity and learning.
