Rationale

The Mauri Toa programme was developed for students in schools to learn more about Māori Weaponry under the teachings and philosophies of
Te Whare Tū Taua o Aotearoa, the International School of Māori Weaponry in unification with accrediting student’s achievement within the
NZQA framework.

The name Mauri Toa, derives from the life essence of a warrior.  This can relate to the principals and values of a Warrior using Mau Rākau as the medium
a traditional fighting art to re-discover, the inner warrior. 

To be able to encourage resilience, an ability to cope. Leadership, an ability to lead and follow. Confidence, an ability to focus, engrossed in the Māori language.
Introduced in 2013, this programme has built a wider relationships enabling Kahui Kaiako to provide a forum for teachers and Māori Weaponry exponents to have professional discussions around the art of Māori Weaponry and how this can be engaged within schools, around Aotearoa giving opportunities for students, second chance learners to excel in both worlds, Te Ao Māori, Te Ao hurihuri.
