At Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi, our School of Iwi Development can provide pathways and resourcing for marae and other Māori entities to support their own aspirations.
We have a long history of supporting marae in Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland so if you are a community group, marae or an individual who’d like to study with us we’d love to hear from you!
Applications open on 1 April for Auckland Council’s Waste Minimisation and Innovation Fund (WMIF). Businesses, iwi, and education and community groups can apply for up to $5,000 towards their project.
This month we are highlighting examples of the council and the community coming together to drive positive local change.
Dear neighbours, if you run into Bill Thompson or Kamal Butt, say congratulations to them for their officially awesome shed.

Rural residents in the area who collect rainwater from the roof should disconnect the supply and clean their roof before collecting water again. Keep up-to-date here

Now more than ever, the fern seems to best capture the spirit of our country. If we look to our Māori roots, we are reminded of the twist or pikorua which resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns - a fern known for thriving in dark, damp areas of our woods. A reminder that difficult conditions can actually be an opportunity for tremendous growth.
The entanglement of the pikorua also has no beginning or end which is often used to represent an everlasting bond. Although we are all on our own path in life, in the end we always come back together - we are all connected through our interwoven lives.

This journey through the world of art song and Lieder probes the human psyche with an intensity no other genre, not even opera, is permitted. Unhinged. Gruelling. Hallucinatory. Joyful. Beautiful. This ranks as the most searing experience any music lover can undergo.
