Uru Manuka

Uru Manuka are a Manaiakalani Outreach Cluster in Christchurch. They have put together a site that has available a whole lot of shared resources.

Kelsey Morgan, Uru Manuka Facilitator, has kindly shared the link with me and has said,"we as a cluster are working on dropping resources in to this folder once a term so it should get updated and added to over time across all subjects. Hopefully this will help everyone out!"

Check the site out here. It has lots of great resources!!
