Academy Stories – In 2006, ASB Community Trust set out to find and fund innovative proposals to address the serious problem of educational underachievement among Māori and Pasifika youth. Through its Māori and Pasifika Education Initiative (MPEI), the Trust forged a rigorous and innovative grant making process that attracted over 300 expressions of interest from across the Auckland and Northland region. In 2009, He Puna Marama Trust became one of seven successful applicants to receive funding to implement its vision of a leadership academy for Māori boys.

Whānau Engagement Policy – In order for a successful partnership with whānau, iwi and the community, involvement must be visible in Kura operations. The Kura is committed to supporting these needs and using a range of communication strategies to involve parties. These include panui, hui whakapiki (parent interviews), whānau /iwi/community hui, common informal methods such as “kanohi ki te kanohi” (face to face) conversations with staff through an open door policy and the use of social media and student management systems.

2016 Annual Report – This year, 2016 has been another year of further growth, development and increasing success. We continued to grow our innovative Māori educational model and at the same time, increase our reach and relevance to our people and whānau. We are no longer the novel new kids on the block, ushered in under partisan opportunity and huge political criticism. There is a growing sense of confidence and substance in what we do and how we do it. This can only be put down to the focus on our kaupapa and three pou, Kia Māori, Kia Mātau, Kia Tū Rangatira Ai and the combined belief and efforts of our ākonga and staff.

2015 Te Kāpehu Whetu summary (Paenuku) Summary – A year after opening a fully-fledged secondary school, we thought. Let’s do that again! So, February 2015 we opened our primary kura, Te Kāpehu Whetū (teina). We opened in two prefabs generously given to us by St Francis Xavier Primary school, while we built our kura teina next door. We started with a roll of 40 and ended with 65. During the year we decided to go from bilingual to full immersion and so our entry level kura “Paenuku” was born.
