The mighty Tōtara tree stands tall and proud. It protects those smaller than itself. In ancient times it was used to build waka that carried hundreds of warriors and build whare to protect people from the earths elements. As the team gifted with the name tōtara, we take on much of it’s meaning. We protect those who are younger than us and we support others by encouraging them, and being active role models in our kura. We are the leaders of KNS.

OUR NEW LEARNING SPACE!!!
Check out our new space. It's still a work in progress but our students are settling in so well! We are super impressed :)
You can see the dirt is still a barrier but hopefully the warmer weather will encourage the grass to grow faster.
Our new building name is TIWAI

The large breakout room for "quiet" work
The smaller breakout space...
We all fit into the main meeting area pretty well. Smiles all round (well nearly) :)
