Mana Toroa
Ina te mahi, he rangatira.
See how he does, a leader indeed!
The aim of Mana Toroa is to uphold the presence of Te Ao Māori within Te Kura Tuarua o Pūtaringamotu, and to support the self-determination of all Māori ākonga.

To ensure this, it is the role of Mana Toroa to hold events such as; Māori student hui, whānau hui and Pō Whakanui. As representatives of Te Ao Māori, it is also the role of Mana Toroa to utilise available platforms to educate and encourage all aspects of Te Ao Māori, from a Māori perspective.
