Abstract	This paper reports on the preliminary findings of a study carried out in two English-medium primary (elementary) schools (years 1-6) located in the Otago-Southland regions between 2014 and 2015. The purpose of the study aimed to explore the educational aspirations whanau Maori (i.e., Maori family) want for their children, and to build better relationships for teaching and learning in these two schools. The opportunity to bring whanau Maori together using a school hui (i.e., formal school meeting) process, not only created a culturally safe space for whanau Maori to share their thoughts, ideas and concerns about their children's education, but it also provided an opportunity for constructive feedback, and a greater awareness of the success enablers for whanau Maori and their children. A key finding to emerge, is that, whanau Maori not only see the provision of schooling and education for their children as an extension of who they are as culturally connected learners, but also as a medium for learning more about their own cultural norms, values, beliefs, strengths and attributes.
