The NZ Education Specialists

Te Rōhutu Whio

Localised learning environments reflect their place and their people.

 

Ee’s passion is to bring a community’s stories to life through innovative open-ended resources that provide rich meaningful experiences for all learners.

 

For Te Rōhutu Whio’s ātaahua learning village in Rolleston, this meant catering for both Auraki English-Medium and Reorua Bilingual Hubs learning in multilevel (New Entrant - Y8) whānau groups. Te Rōhutu Whio’s enquiry-based learning is co-constructed with ākonga learners and pursued through authentic contexts.

 

A strong cultural narrative was woven through Te Rōhutu Whio’s environments using Ee’s hand-selected resources, He taonga taiao nature treasures and customised LSG furniture, creating a beautiful home like environment.

 

The environment acts as the third teacher, invites collaboration and connection and is flexible enough to allow children to modify it to construct their own knowledge.
