Other Information
Considered a Wāhi Tūpuna, Te Puāwai witnessed the growth and development of Ōrākei Marae and nurtured the educational aspirations of Ngāti Whātua o Ōrākei through continued ahikāroa. Te Puāwai is a multipurpose building on the marae reserve. Originally a play centre, it housed a library, was used as a homework centre, operated as office space for marae administration and hosted ongoing fundraising initiatives before becoming a kōhanga reo. From the time of its construction Te Puāwai has always upheld an educational kaupapa with the Marae Bursary Fund supporting a range of education scholarship programs for the whānau and tamariki of Ōrākei. As an arts and crafts centre, wānanga on rāranga and whakairo occurred regularly in the whare, with completed works sold as fundraising for the education centre and marae construction. Te Puāwai has continued to be a raranga space to the present day.
