Te Wānanga o Raukawa was honoured to stand alongside the next generation of Māori leaders as one of the sponsors of the 60th National Ngā Manu Kōrero Speech Competitions, held in Whanganui from 16–18 September.

As part of our commitment to nurturing mātauranga and leadership, we offered Karahipi Mātauranga – Te Wānanga o Raukawa Scholarships to the winners of two prestigious categories:

Te Rāwhiti Īhaka (Junior Māori)

Pei Te Hurinui Jones (Senior Māori)

We’re thrilled to congratulate this year’s scholarship recipients:
 

Atareta Milne – Te Kura o Te Koutu, Rotorua (Junior Māori)
Te Kahurangi Teinakore-Huaki – Te Wharekura o Kirikiriroa, Hamilton (Senior Māori)

To all the rangatahi who took the stage with courage, skill, and mana – your voices uplift and inspire. Ka mau te wehi!
