A Community of Learning | Kāhui Ako is a group of education and training providers that form around children and young people's learning pathways, and work together to help them achieve their full potential.

St Anne's Catholic School is a member of the Takatini Toru Kāhui Ako /  Community of Learning.

The name “Takitini” is derived from a well known whakataukī outlined below, and is the name given to our collective initiative.

“Ehara taku toa, i te toa takitahi, Engari he toa takitini”

“My success is not from the work of one, But from the work of many”

Our proposition is that “together" we will encourage:

● Increased demand and active involvement by our communities, whānau, hapū, iwi, across the sector
● Effective leadership inquiry practices
● Classroom relational pedagogies
● And place based contexts for learning.

This will lead to our learners being grounded in who they are and where they are from, so they know where they are going. All this anchored to the foundation of Hauora. 

At the same time, we will strive to accelerate educational improvement in the areas of local priority. 

We believe that a focus on school, or system capability is necessary but not sufficient to bring about the desired transformation of valued outcomes for our learners and whānau in the Whanganui community.
