Nestled in the sun-kissed city of Gisborne, Te Kura Kaupapa Maori O Kawakawa Mai Tawhiti stands tall, a beacon of cultural pride and educational innovation. Established with a vision to empower the next generation, our general business has been an integral part of this community for decades, providing a unique blend of Maori language immersion education and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) learning experiences. At the heart of our kura (school), is a deep respect and commitment to upholding the values and philosophy of Kura Kaupapa Maori.
