Kookiritia Marautanga is a collaboration between fifteen Kaahui Ako, Principals’ associations, Tui Tuia learning circle and the Ministry of Education. 

Kōkiri means to champion, lead, promote, advocate, lead

The purpose of this kaupapa is to move the intentions of Te Mataiaho forward with energy in our school communities, Together, we seek to understand the nature of the change so that we can embed it in a powerful way with our aakonga at the center. 

Kookiri leaders bring learning and questions from these sessions back to our school leaders, teachers and communities, engage in dialogue and then feedback our questions, wonderings and problems of practice in order to inform the MoE about what our teachers and schools need in order to achieve our goals.
