Rationale: What Does Hauora mean to the Te Ara Bucklands Beach Kā hui ako?

Historically, our community makeup has changed rapidly at such a pace, that as educators we have struggled to make strong connections with the new ethnicities that have been introduced.

Whilst this is important, we still need to recognise the history of our area and the bi-cultural heritage of Aotearoa. In doing so, we will need to have many community meetings and consultations. We would also hope to bring different ethnicities together and ensure we are leading and teaching in a culturally competent way.
