Te Kapehu Whetu

Te Kāpehu Whetū or the ‘Māori Star Compass’, is the name of our bilingual educational services based in Whangarei. This name, given to us by Matua Hekenukumai Busby, MBE – Northland’s very own Māori icon,  combined with the great voyager Kupe’s directions act as a metaphoric guide for us. Sponsored by He Puna Marama Trust, Te Kāpehu Whetū has ‘launched’ a new format for Māori education covering early childhood through to young adults. Watch their 2015 Kapahaka performance at the Taikokerau Regional Secondary Schools Competition at Te Rangianiwaniwa.
