As we return for Term 3, we draw on the essence of Matariki to continue guiding and inspiring our mahi throughout the year ahead.

Planning for Hui ā-Tau 2026 is well underway with registrations now open. 

This term, we’re also delivering a range of workshops, including the second wānanga of a new suite of leadership workshops, and our Christchurch delivery of Wānanga Reo.

We’ll also be releasing new resources later in the term, including a range of just-in-time exam countdowns, and resources for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2026.

Have You Heard About Ako Panuku Clusters?
Clusters are regional groups of kaiako who come together regularly to wānanga, collaborate, and share knowledge around a common kaupapa, challenge, or area of interest. Topics may include te reo Māori teaching and learning, curriculum design, assessment, leadership, or other priorities identified by the group.

If you're interested in joining an existing cluster or establishing one in your rohe,
get in touch with our team for more information.
