Te Kura Māori o Ngā Tapuwae redevelopment upscaled

Education Minister Hekia Parata announced today that an additional $5.9 million will be invested in the redevelopment of Auckland’s Te Kura Maori o Ngā Tapuwae.

She says, “This extra investment will take the total value of the project to over $21 million.”

Te Kura Māori o Ngā Tapuwae shares a site with Southern Cross Campus in Mangere, a co-ed school for years 1-13 which is also currently undergoing redevelopment, valued at over $23 million.

“The latest investment in the kura will enable it to be relocated on a larger area within the shared site.

This will set the kura up well to accommodate future roll growth. We’re committed to modernising facilities and expanding capacity in Auckland, our fastest-growing city.”

The Southern Cross site also includes a trades academy, early childhood centres, a daycare and a special school satellite unit.

Work is expected to begin on the kura project next month.
