Our Te Hīhiri consultant was engaged to author the CNR in close collaboration with Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga representatives, our ability to meaningfully engage with mana whenua, staff, students and whanau members was critical to the success of compiling the report that was reflecting of different worldviews. 

The CNR collates information gathered from working with members of Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga as well as Rangi Ruru staff, students and their whanau; it provides an overview of the cultural context of the surrounding area, compiles the historical narrative of Rangi Ruru and discusses how Rangi Ruru has embraced its multi-cultural identity. Lastly, the CNR provides an overview of key ways cultural values and narratives can be incorporated into the design of any future built or natural environment work at Rangi Ruru.
