I te tau tahi mano, iwa rau, e waru tekau mā whitu, ka toko ake te whakaaro o te Poari Whakahaere i te Kura Tuarua o Kaipatiki i Tāmaki Makaurau, kia hangaia he whare wānanga ki te kura, he moemoeā nō te rā nei, ka tutuki.
Ahakoa kua rua tekau mā ono tau nō te whakatōnga o te kākano, pupū mārika ana te harikoa o te poari o te wā, o ngā tauira, o ngā whānau me ngā kai-tautoko përā i te Lion Foundation, kua puāwai ngā wawata.
Ka tū a "Puawānanga" ki te taha o te wharekai o "Kimiroa" kua 15 tau kē e noho mokemoke ana, mai i tōna hanganga i te tau 1998.
Kua tohua tēnei whare hei Whare Wānanga, engari ko ngā tikanga Māori tonu tona nei tūāpapa.
Heoi ahakoa kua tutuki tēnei wāhanga o te marae ki te Kura Tuarua o Kaipatiki, kāore anō kia oti ngā mahi, ā, ko te wāhanga hei whakakākahu, hei whakamāori i te whare, kei roto i ngā ringaringa o ngā tauira, hei ngā marama kei mua i te aroaro.
