On 22 April 1981 the Raukawa Marae Trustees met and resolved to invite a number of people to form a council to establish Te Wānanga o Raukawa for the advancement, dissemination and maintenance of Māori knowledge through the medium of teaching and research. The interim council were to conduct affairs for the Wānanga and prepare a plan for its long-term development and approval by the Trustees.
This is a tribute to the achievements of the Te Wānanga o Raukawa graduates of 2020 who navigated the arrival of a global pandemic to Aotearoa during their academic year. As a physical Te Rā Whakapūmau event did not occur at the conclusion of 2020, a virtual production was created in 2021 to acknowledge graduates alongside the 40-year anniversary of Te Wānanga o Raukawa.
Te Wānanga o Raukawa are pleased to share with you, the release of your graduation production. You are welcome to share with your whānau and those who have supported you on your journey.
E kore tātou e ngaro; he kākano i ruia mai i Rangiātea.
