I am starting a book and need my own space to concentrate. I am double vaccinated for Covid and flu vaccinated. I am looking for a quiet whare/space with either good internet or good 2 Degrees coverage where I can work away from home over the summer period. Would prefer if I could rent a space where I can also stay overnight if I need to. I don't need anything fancy, just basic is fine. Ngā mihi nui, Heather

Masters Study

Meet Hinerangi Busby who shares her journey with Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi.

I am a graduate of the marae-centred programme, Te Pouhono, transforming Māori communities, promoting mātauranga-a-hapū, a-iwi. My participation took me to the Bachelor of Mātauranga Māori, and then postgraduate study.

Awanuiārangi centres you. This is the nurturing space of Māori researchers, with the support of academic and professional staff; this all transpires from an authentic indigenous and traditional Māori environment.

My studies have empowered me to play a more pro-active role in whānau and hapū affairs. Instead of being angry at a past that we cannot change, let’s become part of the solution for positive change.
