About our group and team | Mātau rōpū ake

Te Pae Aronui was established within Te Mahau to provide the education sector with support and services that are more locally responsive, more accessible, and integrated. 

It is the place where everything Te Tāhuhu does for ākonga can come together. We gather insights, regulate, have service design and delivery functions, understand ākonga, whānau, communities and businesses – and use that to shape and influence the direction of education in Aotearoa New Zealand.
