Abstract	In this article Kay-Lee Jones describes the attributes of the Te Pa o Rakaihautu school. Te Pa o Rakaihautu is unique, it is different and designed to be so. It is a 21st century pa wananga (learning village) for the whole whanau (family). Through the hallways of Te Pa o Rakaihautu one feels the mauri (essence) of the different entities that make up the pa. The beautiful portraits of individual pononga (students) are displayed, donning both traditional Maori and Western dress representing their tupuna (ancestors) and tupuna aspirations: the essence of each pononga, their mana (prestige), their strength and personality revealed for all to see. The philosophy of Te Pa reflects the notion of redefining education and redefining educational success through restoring language, and connecting or reconnecting with identity and culture. This is pono, staying true to the kaupapa; honouring the kaupapa (agenda) of true Maori potential. In terms of the life of educational environments, Te Pa o Rakaihautu is in its infancy, merely established in 2015, born out of a desire from the Maori community, particularly whanau connected to Te Ahikaroa kapa haka group and others, to create a new and different option for their tamariki (children) to be Maori and succeed as Maori. Te Pa is a place where one can be proud to be Maori, a space that may be deemed anti-racist in an education system that hasn't previously performed for Maori. (ERIC).
