Te RÅhutu Whio
Localised learning environments reflect their place and their people.
Eeâs passion is to bring a communityâs stories to life through innovative open-ended resources that provide rich meaningful experiences for all learners.
For Te RÅhutu Whioâs Ätaahua learning village in Rolleston, this meant catering for both Auraki English-Medium and Reorua Bilingual Hubs learning in multilevel (New Entrant - Y8) whÄnau groups. Te RÅhutu Whioâs enquiry-based learning is co-constructed with Äkonga learners and pursued through authentic contexts.
A strong cultural narrative was woven through Te RÅhutu Whioâs environments using Eeâs 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.
