Our local story
Māngere sits in the heart of South Auckland, surrounded by strong Māori and Pasifika communities. Our campus is close to Le Fale Samoa and only a short distance from the historic whenua of Ihumātao.
This is a place shaped by people known for their hospitality, creativity, and resilience. It’s a community that welcomes everyone and encourages growth.
The floods of January 2023 caused significant damage to our campus. Since then, we’ve rebuilt with purpose, creating six new classrooms and two new hui spaces. We call this hub Manawa Taki – the heartbeat of Māngere, where many journeys begin.
At Māngere Campus, tauira come first. Our kaimahi are committed to supporting every learner and walking alongside you, so that your study is not only successful but meaningful.

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa launches new reo Māori programmes to help te reo thrive for generations to come
For over four decades, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has created pathways for generations of tauira to learn, speak, teach and live te reo Māori. That legacy has supported the return of te reo Māori to everyday life, from whānau learning their first kupu, to tauira carrying reo onto marae, and into workplaces, classrooms and homes.
Turning a passion for rongoā into community healing
