July Recap

We have looked back over the past month and collated some of the activities and work streams of the Manaiakalani Programme....


Manaiakalani Education Trust

Chair, Pat Snedden and CEO, Jenny Oxley facilitated an online hui for the Trust chairs across our network. We all appreciate their work in service of our schools and enabling the Manaiakalani kaupapa..

This term, the research focuses on gathering voice from leaders, teachers, learners, and whānau. These questionnaires ask a range of questions about reading. If you don’t have access, please get in touch.

Join in the Term 3 Staff Meeting.  Connect with others as you share your inquiries for 2022.

Check out the 2021 hui.

It will be energising and inspiring to get back together again.

We are excited to announce PB Tech as our Tech procurement partner (2023-2025). We thank Noel Leeming for their support and partnership over the last five years.

With 4,500+ learners of Pasifika heritage in our network, MET has recently appointed a facilitator to support their schools and teachers. We look forward to sharing more.

Our partnerships extend to the Cook Islands as we plan an inaugural Teacher Summit in the October holidays.

The Taranaki Cluster (launched in March 2021) is generously supported by TOI Foundation which has worked with us to create this 

Impact Report.

Some of our schools have been focusing on localised curricula. They are learning about and visiting local areas of significant meaning and working with the local iwi to learn about their culture and identity.
