LeadSpace – Leadership area (1902 words) |
 | Oranga School has a big Māori/Pasifika population, and those children were heavily represented at the bottom end of our results for reading and maths. |
| I've been at Oranga School eight years, and in that time I could never understand (and this is an illustration of how mono-cultural we can be) why the children would come into the classroom in the morning and give me flowers and they'd be little flowers with no stalk. |
| When children come to Oranga, the family view is that they come to school to learn English and we really are trying to give the message to all our communities that the children's first language is really vitally, vitally important. |
| Te Puna Oranga - Home (437 words) |
| Te Puna Oranga became an Incorporated Society in August 1986 fulfilling the requirements announced by Anne Hercus, Minister of Social Welfare in 1985 who said no group could receive government funding unless it was either a legal entity or had an umbrella organisation that could act on its behalf. |
| At this time seeding grants were available and Te Puna Oranga was affiliated to Te Kakano O Te Whanau who distributed funding to Maori groups working in the abuse area. |
| Te Puna Oranga is a non‑profit registered Incorporated Society established in 1984. |
