NEW WHARENUI FOR MOUNTAINVIEW HIGH SCHOOL SHOWS 'A NEW JOURNEY'
The first concept drawings for a new $300,000 wharenui at Mountainview High School, in Timaru, hoped to be built by April, 2021, are complete.
The new wharenui will be the focal point for the school’s Māori studies department.
The curriculum will include te reo (language), kapa haka (performing arts) and tikanga (culture and custom), Diamond said.
“The Treaty of Waitangi makes it clear laying out protection, participation and partnership as important.”
One new te reo specialist will be employed at the school.
“But there is an expectation that all our staff will commit to upskilling in this area, not just language but also tikanga.”.
The new wharenui will be funded through the school investment package – a one-off grant from the Ministry of Education to help with property projects.......
