Te Whaiti

Te Whaiti or Te Whāiti, formerly called Ahikereru, is a forested area in the Whakatāne District and Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand's North Island.

The area's full Māori name, Te Whāiti-nui-a-Toi, translates as "the great canyon of Toi",[2] referring to an ancestor of this area, Toi-kai-rākau / Toi-te-huatahi.

Albert Percy Godber took photographs of Māori art and architecture in the area.

[3] Te Whaiti is in the rohe (tribal area) of both Tūhoe and Ngāti Whare.

The school is now Te Kura Toitu o Te Whaiti-nui-a-Toi, a co-educational state, Restricted Composite Special Character School.
