collective in the marae. The operation of a marae, the way that that runs, is determined by the people who belong to that marae. All marae will run in a different way. There will be some common things, but generally how things are done on one marae will differ from how they are done on another marae. The thing that schools should look at doing is developing a relationship or establishing a relationship with a local marae. If they have marae to whom pupils or students in their school belong, then it makes sense to establish relationships with that marae or those marae.
