Our new name is Ara Institute of Canterbury

Today we are now called Ara : Institute of Canterbury. Ara means arise or pathway in te Reo Māori.  Our Ara logo represents the upward journey of learning, while also drawing inspiration from Māori tukutuku panelling, which was traditionally used to decorate meeting houses. For more information on this next stage in our history see the news release on our website.
