Te Raukura and Te Kura-a-iwi o Whakatupuranga Rua Mano: 

Ngā Hapū o Ōtaki Rangatahi Leadership ropū, serves as a dynamic platform for youth leadership within the Ōtaki community. Comprising young leaders affiliated with Ōtaki College, Whakatupuranga Rua Mano, and Te Rito, Te Raukura Rangatahi draws its members from the five hapū of Ngā Hapū o Ōtaki. Since its inception in November last year, the group has swiftly established itself as a driving force for positive change, orchestrating various youth-centric initiatives and actively participating in community events. With a commitment to fostering cultural connection and intergenerational support, Te Raukura Rangatahi diligently tautoko kaumātua and whānau while empowering and advocating for the youth of Ōtaki. Through their concerted efforts, they not only enrich the lives of their peers but also contribute significantly to the broader well-being of the Otaki community.

Our practise as kaitiaki.

Out of Whakatupuranga Rua Mano: Generation 2000 came the commitment expressed in the following principle:

The marae is our principal home, maintain and respect.

This has many implications for the way in which tangata whenua and manuhiri will act on marae. In tikanga Māori, an accepted practice, procedure or protocol is known as a 'kawa'. Each marae or wāhi Māori has its own kawa. The maintenance and adherence to the kawa is important to the tangata whenua of that place. To infringe on the kawa of a particular place demeans the home people. The tangata whenua will take steps to reaffirm their kawa. It may lead to a rebuke of the offending party right there and then, or the reaction may be delayed for maximum effect.

All marae seek to uphold kawa and at Te Wānanga o Raukawa we enforce Te Kawa o te Ako. They are the practices, procedures and protocols which protect and maximise the  potential of students, staff and manuhiri of Te Wānanga o Raukawa. In particular, it aims to curb activity reducing the capacity to learn and teach.

One dimension of Te Kawa o te Ako, is that those who feel they cannot abstain from using drugs and alcohol should stay away. Those who disregard Te Kawa o te Ako put themselves and their whānau at risk of being challenged by those who feel the need to uphold Te Kawa o te Ako. The timing of the challenge may be selected to achieve maximum impact on the person who has 'broken the kawa'.  

For more information on our kaupapa, Te Ōhākī and more, please read here.

We are a collective of four organisations - Te Wānanga o Raukawa, Ngā Hapū o Ōtaki, Raukawa Whānau Ora, and Te Puna Oranga o Ōtaki. 

We are dedicated Māori service providers within the region, and together, we form a strong network committed to the upliftment and development of our wider hāpori.

The aim of this hui is to inform Rangatahi of the diverse opportunities' pathways into education, training or employment raising awareness of health and wellbeing using the Te Whare Tapa Whā model. 

The event will be led by Rangatahi primarily for Rangatahi years 11-13 (but not limited to).

Our sponsors for this event are:
