TE PAE TATA
Ambitious project takes shape
Ruapehu Whānau Transformation’s
(RWT) most ambitious and visionary solution yet has come to fruition with the
doors opening at Te Pae Tata, a community learning and tech hub in the old senior block at the back of Ruapehu College.
Exactly three years ago Ngāti Rangi,
with the assistance of a Community Reference Group (CRG) made up of people
from all walks of life in Raetihi, Ohākune
and Waiouru, launched a 23-step plan
aimed at helping all those living in the
shadow of Mount Ruapehu flourish.
With a number of the solutions already
implemented, RWT implementation manager Erena Mikaere-Most said Te Pae
Tata is their biggest, most ambitious project to date.
“Through the RWT research our statistics highlighted that across all three towns
we have low qualification attainment
levels when compared to the national average especially at the higher end (bachelors and above).
“Couple this with the fact that the better
qualified you are, the better life outcomes
you can potentially achieve, we needed to
do something to help encourage a positive
change.
“Te Pae Tata takes care of two of our
23 solutions in one go, the first was
about having a community learning
centre, a place where anyone can come
to for predominately post-school learning
opportunities.
“Whether this is enterprise training,
one-off courses, degrees, pretty much
anything our whānau want to learn, or do
to up-skill themselves.”
Dramatic advances in technology over
the last decade now mean the opportunity
to study is available to those living
outside the major centres but only if they
have access to the technologies needed.
“We have whānau who are in the CRG
who’ve rangatahi in their families that
would go away to university and find out
they couldn’t flourish for a number of
different reasons.
“So instead of finishing their studies
they would just pull out, come home and
not continue studying even if they could.
“With the advances in technology they
can now do them from home here in the
Ruapehu and we wanted to have a space
where people can get dedicated support
with others who can help motivate them

The Ruapehu Whānau Transformation Plan’s biggest solution has launched with a
number of low-cost or fee-free technology programmes starting at Te Pae Tata next
week.
The new open education and conference facility provides the space and opportunity
to help grow Ruapehu learners, creators and leaders including free access to high-speed
fibre internet, computers and a relaxing breakout space, between 8.30am and 5pm.
The first round of educational programmes are starting next week at the Ruapehu
community learning and tech hub housed at the back of Ruapehu College in Ohākune.
For tamariki and rangatahi, an eight-week course covering computer science basics,
coding and an introduction to robotics starts on Monday along with a more advanced,
exploratory class, learning to solve problems utilising technology beginning on Tuesday.
Both programmes cost $10 a session.
Whether wanting to learn how to use a computer or the internet, gain help with
extramural study or see what post-school learning opportunities are available, Tuesday’s
drop-in sessions for adults are free and open to anyone in the community.
Also housed at Te Pae Tata is a fully functioning conference centre and meeting
rooms, which are all available for rent.
With the ability to host up to 120 seated guests, or 300 standing, with a two-metre
video wall, this conference space has been purpose-designed to include some of the
latest in technology.
Three other smaller meeting rooms are also available on a daily basis and can cater
to up to 40 people.
To book a place in any of the community tech programmes or find out more
information on any of the facilities available at Te Pae Tata, call Hub administrators

Over the last year teams of local volunteers
both young and old have been working to help
complete Te Pae Tata – the new community
learning and technology hub in Ohākune.
With the first round of Computer Science
programmes for all ages starting next week,
Ngāti Rangi’s Ruapehu Whānau Transform
Plan implementation manager Erena MikaereMost said the refurbishment of the old senior
block at Ruapehu College in Ohākune, could
not have happened without the on-going
support of local whānau, and community.
“We walked into the building a year ago and
it took us a couple of months to scope out the
changes that we needed to make to achieve an
inspiring, safe facility for learning.
“We had to look at what was going to be
needed in terms of deferred maintenance, what
we were allowed to do legally and then at
concepts to make this space inspirational.
“In October, builder Karl Cane started on
the massive refit and Ruapehu REAP took an
office, helping Te Pae Tata become a one-stop
learning shop.”
This was followed by Ruapehu Recruitment
in November and Ngāti Rangi’s Kaitoko
Whānau team in April moving to the hub.
“There was so much painting to do and so
many people standing up and volunteering to
help.
“People off the street who we were just
talking to about Te Pae Tata, kāumatua, my
netball team, our families and friends all came
in, it’s been an amazing collective effort.
“Even when our new Hub administrators
[Chaana Morgan and Robyn Matthews] came
on board, they were doing some painting –
without everyone’s help it would have taken so
much longer.”
With Phase One now complete and the space
now open to the public, work has begun on
scoping the kitchen along with the co-working
space with 16 hot desks and two smaller
meeting rooms to be complete this year too.
Should funds be available, planning is
also underway for more advanced tech
hardware, exploring outdoor seating areas,
and the possibility of a shower block for the
convenience of facility users.

to finish.”
The second RWT solution implemented here was about creating a space where the
latest in technology was available at little or no cost to all whānau for them to learn.
“The tech hub is about encouraging our whānau of all ages to get involved.
“Digital technologies are causing such change in our everyday lives we wanted to
make sure our tamariki and their parents and grandparents have the opportunity to be
aware of and keep up with the change if not one-day lead it.
“Along with low-cost computer science programmes we have free internet and
computers available for anyone who wants to drop in.”
