We are a kindergarten that provides quality early childhood education. We
have two groups of tamariki/children who attend our kindergarten. On
Mondays and Thursdays from 8:30am to 2:30pm our younger group attends.
This group is called the “Rereroa” group and the children in this group are
predominantly three years old.
Our other group of tamariki attend kindergarten on Tuesdays, Wednesdays
and Fridays, also from 8:30am to 2:30pm. This group is called our “Awarua”
group and the children in this group are predominantly four years old.
We have named our groups of children after the name of the taniwha and
the albatross in the local story of how Te Mana o Kupe (Mana Island) came to
be flat. Awarua is the taniwha, and Rereroa is the albatross, the taniwha‟s
friend, in this story.
