Professor Merata Kawharu of Ngāti Whātua is a renowned researcher on mātauranga, climate change and horticulture and sustainability.
She visited our school and campus on Friday as part of our mara kumara project, as well as our kūmara beds at Mount Roskill Primary School.
In the afternoon, Professor Merata Kawharu led a group of students to Puketāpapa to learn about its history and the kūmara cultivation in Auckland.
As part of the day, Professor Kawharu gifted a whakatauki to the campus which belonged to her father, Sir Hugh Kawharu. This visit from her was an honour to our school and campus.
