Te Kōmiti Mātua
The kōmiti of Te Ataarangi ki Tāmaki Makaurau is a group of dedicated individuals who quietly and faithfully help to guide, support, and uphold the kaupapa of Te Ataarangi in our region.
Each person brings their own strengths, experiences, and deep care for te reo Māori, and together they help to keep the kaupapa grounded in its core values — whanaungatanga, ako ngātahi, manaaki, and aroha. Their mahi is not about standing in the spotlight, but about serving the wider whānau with humility and integrity.

Puna Māhita
At the heart of Te Ataarangi ki Tāmaki Makaurau are our māhita — the teachers who carry and share the reo with such care, patience, and purpose. They are nurturers of confidence, builders of connection, and guides for those stepping onto the path of te reo Māori. Through the unique Te Ataarangi method — with its focus on āta hakarongo, āta kōrero, and ako ngātahi — our kaiako create safe and supportive spaces where learners feel encouraged, not judged.
Every rākau placed, every sentence shared, every gentle correction or quiet awhi — these are the threads they use to weave together strong, confident speakers and lifelong language journeys.

Punua Māhita
Within the nurturing space of Te Ataarangi ki Tāmaki Makaurau, we are proud to support a growing rōpū of teachers in training, walking the path under the guiding kaupapa of Te Māhuri – Kotahi Kapua.
These emerging māhita are like the māhuri — the young trees standing tall, strengthened by the roots of those who came before. They are learning not only how to teach te reo Māori, but how to teach in a way that uplifts others, honours tikanga, and stays true to the spirit of Te Ataarangi.
Kotahi Kapua reminds us that each kaiako in training carries the potential of a single cloud — seemingly light, yet full of power to nourish and transform. They may be at the beginning of their teaching journey, but already they are showing courage, commitment, and care.
