Our Relationship with Panguru
Panguru is the birthplace of Catholicism in Aotearoa and is also the birth place of Dame Whina Cooper, who led the Maori land march in 1975. Our main relationship is with Te Kura Taumata o Panguru who we have accompanied in their work reconnecting rangatahi with their land and culture.
At the request of Te Kura taumata o Panguru we helped them produce Te Warawara: Te Wairua o te iwi o Te Rarawa.
This guide includes activities, worksheets and lesson plans and is aimed at primary and secondary school students. It features worksheets tailored to Au Warawara and also to specific year groupings. The book is both instructional and inspirational.
