Description

Ōrauwhata: Bishopdale Library are proud to be hosting a selection of artwork from our local schools; Te Kura o Mātāhae/Cotswold School, Te Kura o Papakōhatu/Bishopdale School, Te Kura Mareko/Casebrook Intermediate. The Tūrangawaewae display is the realisation of the students hard work creating an art piece that demonstrates their sense of belonging. We welcome both friends and family to come and view what they have produced at our participating Libraries; Ōrauwhata: Bishopdale, Redwood and Papanui.

"Tōtaranui Kāhui Ako is a community of learning in North West Christchurch. Our vision is Hono, Mahi Tahi, E tipu - Connect, Collaborate, Grow. Students across all schools have been focused this year on Tūrangawaewae. Tūrangawaewae is one of the most well-known and powerful Māori concepts. Literally tūranga (standing place), waewae (feet), it is often translated as 'a place to stand'. Tūrangawaewae represents the places where we feel especially empowered and connected. These places are our foundation, our place in the world, our home. All schools that belong to the Tōtaranui Kāhui Ako understand the connection this has for the area we live in. Each student has a place of belonging and this can be a physical, emotional and spiritual place. The work on display represents what Tūrangwaewae means for our akonga(learners)."
