Mauri ora,
Ko te mātauranga he huarahi mutunga kore, ā, ahakoa te taumata, me te tūranga o te tangata i roto i tēnei ao, ko te ako tonu tana kai, ka mutu, noho tauira tonu ana tātou mā whakaakoranga kē, mā kaupapa kē e noho mai nei hei pouako anō mō tātou. Ko Jamie te whakatinanatanga o tērā whakaaro, arā, ko tana kaha ki te whai i te mātauranga hei oranga mo āna uri, me te iwi whānui tonu o tēnei takiwā.
I te tau 2020, I whai wāhi mai a Jamie ki te hāpai i ētehi kaupapa motuhake o tō mātou kura. I kaha ngana ia ki te whakatutuki i ēnei kaupapa rangatira, e rewa ai te mauri ora o tō mātou kura. Nāna anō, i tiaki pai, i ā mātou hiahia, me ā mātou wawata, kia eke ai ā mātou tamariki ki taumata kē atu.
He tangata ngākau nui ki te reo, ki ngā tikanga o te ao Māori me ōna āhuatanga, he mārama, he hinengaro tūwhera, he aha i tua atu o tērā?
E mihi aka ki a Takarangi Education mo tā koutou tautoko mai i tō mātou kura, kia eke ai ā mātou tamariki ki te tihi o angitū. ‘He Taonga te Tamaiti’
Nā te whānau o Te Wharekura o Ngā Purapura o Te Aroha

Pūniu River Care
With the exponential growth here at Pūniu River Care (PRC), this accelerated our need to create a training and development programme to teach specific technical skills to effectively manage the demands within the industry.
After a couple of attempts to find the resources to achieve this, we approached Jamie Lambert and right from the get-go…she ‘got it’. She got the feel, she got the understanding, she got the kaupapa!
With a component of the programme focused on the development of tuakiritanga (individual identity), Jamie had a clear understanding of the cultural impact this programme could provide for our staff individually and was able to imply her whakaaro on how this could be effectively achieved.
The ease of working with Jamie saw a huge impact and swift progress from one hui where we instantly felt the wairua resonating in a good space, as she was able to capture and articulate very well what we were hoping to provide within the programme.
Jamie was able to provide advice and ideas whilst keeping the integrity of the our kaupapa and allowing the organisations core values to guide her intentions.
Jamie has developed a highly effective training programme specific to the needs of PRC and will aide in on-going employment opportunities for our tauira in other organisations within the industry, at the completion of this course.
A very reliable person where minimal engagement was needed as we were reassured from the start that our kaupapa was in safe hands. Pūniu River Care would highly recommend Jamie Lambert and her expertise in this field to EVERYONE! Get at her…
