  • WE PUT OUT WHAT COMES IN

    When you purchase something in store, those funds go into a pool for Te Oraka. This pool is then used for kai at events, paid student time, resources etc.

  • AFFORDABLE QUALITY ITEMS

    Why? Our kaupapa is simply that sustainability should be accessible to anyone and everyone. We ensure all students can access warm, quality items without breaking the bank!

  • FROM 11AM TO 1PM

    Bike up a pre-loved bike for a koha (donation). You’ll help Connan repair your bike so you learn basic care skills and can have access to the tools throughout the week at Te Oraka.

The Social Club

  • The collective of epic people keen to learn new things.

Our Events

  • Good things going on at Te Oraka across gigs, sewing events, book club, Night Markets

We accept donations for goodies that you no longer use.

For every three items we accept, you’ll get a free swap from the shop.
