Taonga Education Centre

Taonga Education Centre “Totally acknowledging our next generation’s abilities” The 2002 academic year saw the launch of what has now become a very successful programme.

In late -2001 some members of Nga Wahine Atawhai o Matukureia, a Maori Women’s Welfare League Branch in Manurewa, were approached to determine interest in assisting some teenage mothers who were still of legal school age who had given birth to a baby and were no longer attending school. From this initial enquiry, Taonga was born, and a core group of dedicated women earnestly sought funding to enab

le the Programme to be initiated in Manurewa, having identified the greatest area of need was in Clendon. The name “Taonga” (Treasure) was chosen for the Programme because both the mothers and their babies are viewed as “Taonga to the World”.

Our staff training room has had a recent refresh and is already making a difference. It is now a great space for staff collaboration and for our mama taiohi to take part in workshops.

Yesterday the room was used for a learner driver licence training session for one of our mama taiohi, and today it was alive with staff working together and sharing ideas. We are excited to keep using this space to progress our kaupapa - Totally Acknowledging Our Next Generations' Abilities!
