Te Mahau | Te Tai Runga (South Takiwā) is a frontline group. Our frontline groups collectively provide leadership and integrated services to the sector and others.

As a frontline group we develop and harness existing relationships with communities at the regional and local level through the Director of Education, including deep relationships with iwi and hapū.
