Education, children, kaupapa maori, social services

"Mauri" has been providing kaupapa Māori education services to tamariki, whanau and kaiako in the Far North since Jan 2016. In 2018 we established "Mauri Ki Te Ao OSCAR Program" and "Mauri Social Services" to meet the need for continuity of care needed by our students/ whanau and kaiako; and also to address gap in services available to tane Māori. Because Te Hiku has a predominantly Māori population, the fact that most are going through Mainstream education and failing results in clear deficits of opportunity for whānau Māori as well as a low-skilled workforce/ high beneficiary rate. Our goal is to give every individual a solid grounding in kaupapa Māori education and care to improve the overall wellbeing of our community.
