Toi Paematua Level 4 & 5 students of Te Wananga O Aotearoa present their Te Kōrari Exhibition - an exhibition of the raranga (weaving) created during their learning journey. Not to be missed!

These talented students are from Te Wananaga o Aotearoa and they are being assessed on all aspects of preparing, setting up, working with and closing down this exhibition.   

Te Korari refers to the seeds and stem of the Harakeke plant (flax), symbolising many of the students' journeys in developing this collection. 
Harakeke - a staple survival plant in olden Maori life used for kai, rongoa (medicine), whare, whariki  (flooring), kakahu (clothing), sandals etc, prior to the arrival of European resources.
