Whakawhanaungatanga Suite of Activities

What is it?

The Whakawhanaungatanga Suite of Activities is a series of intentionally designed events and workshops that respond to the ākonga (learner) and their needs at key points in the learning journey – Te Ara Ākonga.

Whakawhanaungatanga is the practice of creating connections and establishing relationships. It can help us build and strengthen relationships, which supports us as we navigate life events and commitments such as study.

Who is it for?

Whakawhanaungatanga Suite of Activities offer opportunities for ākonga to: 

  • Connect to the variety of support services on offer
  • Meet other like-minded ākonga 
  • Strengthen relationships with kaiako outside of the classroom in a warm, relaxed and encouraging environment

Facilitated by the team at Te Kete Manaaki, we believe that building relationships with our ākonga is vital to growing networks of confident, capable practitioners in their field of expertise.  

How can I get involved? 

See the table below to find our Whakawhanaungatanga activities for 2023 and what may best suit you to attend.

Hei Oranga Mōu 

Hei Oranga Mōu events aim to link ākonga with opportunities to avoid the potential barriers to study success. Some workshops and events will include assistance to get that first assessment started, checking in on financial needs, and connecting ākonga to services that help sort issues that have been identified as challenges. We have a well-deserved pause to celebrate semesters, regroup and refocus on the path ahead.

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.
