Pukeatua School partners with Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari to inspire young kaitiaki. Through hands-on learning in the ngahere, students explore ecosystems, conservation, and te ao Māori—building curiosity, pride, and connection to nature.
Partnering with Pukeatua School: Growing Kaitiaki Together
"At Pukeatua School, the concept of rauwiringa rauropi – an ecosystem of learning – is helping tamariki connect science, culture and local conservation. Through immersive visits to the world's largest fenced ecosanctuary, ākonga are developing their understanding of biodiversity, Mātauranga Māori and kaitiakitanga."
