About us
Grow Waitaha has supported schools in post-earthquake Canterbury through educational transformation. It continues to work with school communities through the process of educational change.
Our vision
“All ākonga are provided with innovative, connected and responsive teaching, learning experiences, pathways and environments. These will enable Māori to achieve success as Māori and all ākonga to thrive as culturally located learners and as citizens locally, nationally and globally.”
Our name
Grow – the intention to collectively grow and transform.
Waitaha – the abbreviated Māori name for the Canterbury area.
