Te Rauora - The Revitalisation

Te Rauora, which derives its name from 'The Revitalisation of language through education, respect and identity' was formerly known as Rautaki Reorua - Bilingual Strategy. It relates to an agreement between the council and Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Rēhia to develop more spaces, places and opportunities in Kerikeri where te reo Māori is seen, heard and celebrated alongside the English language.

A joint Memorandum of Understanding: ‘Aotearoa Reorua – Kerikeri,’ was launched on 1 June 2023. It acknowledges Kerikeri’s historical significance as a founding location where both te reo Māori and English were spoken and taught following the arrival of the first European settlers to the area.
