Te Ao Haka and Te Reo Māori Scholarships

We are thrilled to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of some of our amazing Puutake students 👏🏽
 
In 2025, our kura made 38 entries into Single Subject Scholarship examinations. These entries were across Samoan Language, Te Reo Rangatira, Te Reo Mãori, and Te Ao Haka.
 
Now just as a reminder: These Scholarships are awarded to the top 3% of students in the country who sit each subject exam. This is not participation. This is national academic excellence at the very highest level.
 
This year, from those 38 entries, 11 of our students achieved a total of 13 Scholarships.
Congratulations to all the recipients, we celebrate each and every one of you! #KiwaKiTePae
