Kua tawhiti kē tōu haerenga mai, kia kore e haere tonu. Nui rawa ōu mahi, kia kore e mahi tonu.

(You have come to far not to go further, you have done too much not to do more.)
A journey of learning through the realms of Mātauranga Māori, strengthening the foundation of our collective Ngāti Tūtanga for the NZ Army. Sharing, reflecting, and acknowledging our unity and bi-cultural direction.
Wānanga form a critical purpose within our learning journey where success, growth and the creation of a strong understanding can be achieved in a safe and supportive environment.
Our NZ Army will conduct two Wānanga at Rongomaraeroa o ngā hau e whā Marae (New Zealand Army National Marae) Waiouru. Both Wānanga are sponsored by our Deputy Chief of the NZ Army, Brigadier Rose King. Dates for our Wānanga are:
Wāhine Wānanga over the period 27 – 28 June 2023
Tāne Wānanga over the period 18 – 19 July 2023
Nāu te rourou nāku te rourou ka ora ai te iwi
