Koru Institute Training Education

KITE was established by Te Ātiawa Manawhenua Ki Te Tau Ihu Trust in 1998 to provide educational opportunities, primarily for Te Ātiawa. In December 2003, Te Rau o Te Aroha Limited, a charitable company, bought the business and developed a philosophy of creating programmes for the community.

Koru Institute of Training and Education’s name was chosen to reflect its shareholders and the Koru is symbolic of new growth and life.  KITE was established to provide quality Education and Training opportunities to Maori and the local community.
