MĀORI SCHOOL FEEDS BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT FOR $4 A DAYParents of students at Tai Wānanga don’t pay anything for education – but they pay $4 a day for the school to give their children breakfast and lunch. The state school opened in 2011 under the “special character” clause that is now being offered to charter schools, and has only 190 students this year – 115 in Hamilton and 75 in Palmerston North. It has no subject timetable. Instead, students have “individualised tailored learning plans” and develop their own “project-based” learning spanning multiple subjects. Tai Wānanga is open to anyone, but 165 of its 169 students at last count were Māori. All students learn te reo Māori immediately after karakia in the mornings, and the school’s vision is “Kia Tu, Kia Ora, Kia Māori“: * Kia Tu: “Stand with confidence.” * Kia ora: “Healthy in mind, body and spirit.” * Kia Māori: “Māori succeeding as Māori.”..... educationcentral.co.nz/maori-school-feeds-body-mind-and-spirit-for-4-a-day/
