Tangata ako i te kāinga, i runga marae, tū ana tau ana!
Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi in Whakatane delivers ACE courses on marae through our School of Iwi Development, Te Apa Maraekura.
There are 18 courses within the ACE provision that cover fundamental kaupapa Māori. These courses cover areas such as tikanga marae, karakia, whakapapa and te reo to name a few. We also provide traditional arts and performing arts courses.
