Masters Study

Meet Hinerangi Busby who shares her journey with Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi.

I am a graduate of the marae-centred programme, Te Pouhono, transforming Māori communities, promoting mātauranga-a-hapū, a-iwi. My participation took me to the Bachelor of Mātauranga Māori, and then postgraduate study.

Awanuiārangi centres you. This is the nurturing space of Māori researchers, with the support of academic and professional staff; this all transpires from an authentic indigenous and traditional Māori environment.

My studies have empowered me to play a more pro-active role in whānau and hapū affairs. Instead of being angry at a past that we cannot change, let’s become part of the solution for positive change.

Hi Neighbours,
Id just like to give a positive review to Foreshore Indian Restaurant in Botany where we ordered takeaway last night.

Im not from India but my two older kids grew up in Singapore where we had loads of choices for Indian cuisine which they love. Their cravings were satisfied. Usually it is sweet or off with other stores, but Foreshore’s biryani is so good! And the prawn malabari !

They are quite on the higher side in terms of price but i think it is because theyre a proper restaurant precovid instead of just a takeaway store. But the taste is worth it.

Please support them.
