I te whatitoka o tōku whare o Maniaihu ka mātai atu taku titiro ki ngā taumata o ngā maunga whakahī o Tararua o Ruahine, o Whakaari e tū takarerewa mai rā, Ka māwhiti atu anō taku titiro ki te marae, ki Aorangi e takoto mai rā, ki te taunga o te manukura. I konei harewa ai taku whirikōkō ki ngā taumata o te rangi ka ao, ka ao, ka aorangi e. Kei aku whakatamarahi ki te rangi, kei aku whakateitei ki te whenua nau mai rā ki tēnei peka o te rākau taumatua o MANUKURA.
MANUKURA has embraced the challenge to evolve an education model that enables its students and thereby whanau, to a life of opportunity and prosperity. Whilst the goal is through the pursuit of education, it is important to understand that this is not an end point, but rather a continuum. The MANUKURA education model is a living space that continues to seek new pathways for our staff and students to engage, extend and excel.
