Moerewa maverick takes on Murihiku
Invercargill’s Southern Institute of Technology has appointed Keri Milne-Ihimaera to a newly-created role of general manager – Māori development.
Dr Milne-Ihimaera was a former principal of Moerewa School, which was put under statutory intervention between 2012 and 2014 when refused to follow the Education Ministry orders to close its senior unit.
That was the subject of her doctoral thesis at Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuirangi, which she completed in 2018.
Dr Milne-Ihimaera, who is Ngāi Tahu, says she likes to push the boundaries and encourage people to think about what else is possible.
