Hei Oranga Mōu 

Whakapiri Ako 

These focused ako sessions explore and unpack some of the key academic study skills required to start and complete first assessments confidently. At the mid-semester break, many ākonga may want to access additional support with their studies. These sessions focus on literacy and numeracy skills for study success. They are designed to give you access to specific academic support to help you plan and prepare for your end-of-semester examinations. During these workshop sessions, you will experience teaching that is focused on specific topics with the flexibility to schedule follow-up appointments with the team. 

Ākonga Empower Hour

Empower Hour is a lunch hour dedicated to strengthening relationships and connections for ākonga whaikaha (learners with disabilities). These sessions will offer support from Te Kete Manaaki with current information, updates and resources to keep you connected and supported throughout your study journey. We will also have some guest speaker opportunities to share experiences and build community relationships.
