Arahina ki Ōtautahi

Arahina ki Ōtautahi is located in Richmond, Christchurch. We work with children and young people (age 10 – 16 years) in the care of Oranga Tamariki to increase engagement and participation in education.

“Ka whati te tī, ka wani te tī, ka rito te tī, ka whiria te tī”

When a tī is broken, it shoots up and regenerates, and a taonga is created.

 
 

We are a unique Kingslea School facility that utilises a multi-agency approach to support the students in our care engage and continue with education. We have been established in partnership with: Oranga Tamariki, Canterbury District Health Board, Ministry of Education, Police Youth Services, Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri (Ngai Tahu).

Arahina is a small campus with qualified expert staff who offer a warm, welcoming and supportive learning environment for students. We have high quality facilities including a hall/gym area, a food technology kitchen space, a range of ICT tools, outdoor student gardens and a large playing field and hard court areas.

Our students come to us by referral from their Oranga Tamariki social worker and decisions are made by a multi-agency panel.
