Kohia Centre, The University of Auckland

Kohia Centre provides comprehensive professional learning and development opportunities for educators, social workers and those working in social and community settings. The Centre is part of The University of Auckland-New Zealand's leading university .

Kohia is also a venue for hire and hosts a retail shop that provides teachers, students and the public with the chance to browse and purchase a wide variety of professional texts and teaching tools. An online store also operates.

Kohia Education Centre has a proud 34 year tradition providing support for teachers, from the early days of 1977 at Arney Road until today at the purpose-built facility on site at the Faculty of Education.

Kohia is the Māori name for the New Zealand passion flower Tetrapathaea tetranda. This plant burned very slowly so the Māori people made use of the dried wood of the Kohia to carry a spark from village to village. This "carrying the spark" symbolism is particularly appropriate for our centre.

Our store is located at Epsom Campus of The University of Auckland, we are open Monday-Friday from 8.00am-4.30pm and always have staff on hand to aid in your search. The online store is available 24/7 with the link below. http://store.educationcentre.auckland.ac.nz/
