Monday 17th November, we kicked off the first of our three events celebrating 150 years (1875–2025) of Te Kura o Te Whānau ā Apanui. He tino whakamaumaharatanga tēnei mō te hītori o te kura, o Te Whānau-ā-Apanui, me ngā reanga maha kua hīkoi mai i raro i te maru o te mātauranga.

Our kura through the decades:

• Maraetai Native School

• Te Kaha Māori District High School

• Te Whānau-ā-Apanui District High School

• Te Whānau-ā-Apanui Area School

• Te Kura o Te Whānau ā Apanui

Our celebration began with:

✨ He haka pōhiri to open the day

✨ The unveiling of our pou haki at its third placement

✨ The opening of our exhibition, honouring stories, taonga and people across 150 years

We are deeply grateful to every whānau member, ex-staff, ex-tauira, kura, and hapori who returned home to share this beautiful moment with us. Your aroha and presence made the day truly special.
