This new cluster was gifted the name Te Ara Tūhura by the Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu in 2017.
To support the cluster coming together Mark Maddren was employed to help develop relationships, identify needs and support initiatives within the cluster. Joint Schools Initiative Funding generated from school changes has supported these identified initiatives and helped develop cross cluster relationships..
Rebbecca Sweeney (CORE Education Tātai Aho Rau) was asked to support the leadership team to create a shared cluster vision, values and principles.
From this work some major issues were identified within the cluster schools and ECE’s around anxiety, well being and resilience.
