Kingi Aupouri
This month we celebrate our star tauira, Kingi Aupouri. His inspiring passion for the arts and his tireless dedication to mastering the chisel deserves to be aknowledged. Kingi is fast becoming a dependable backbone of Te Wānanga Whakairo Rākau through his impressive attendance record and impecable grades.
