Mō Mātou | About Us

A kura with heart

Te Kura o Te Wainui-ā-Rua (TWAR) is situated in Ranana on Te Awa o Whanganui, 62 km from Whanganui. We are an Area Composite kura (Tau 1–13) with students from Whanganui to Pipiriki and everywhere in between — a kura-ā-iwi sitting proudly within the rohe of Tamaupoko, and our connection to this place shapes everything we do.

Our name, Te Wainui-ā-Rua, reflects our deep relationship with the Whanganui River and the people of this region. We believe that knowing where you come from gives you the confidence to go anywhere.
