Whakapiki Ake
Whānau Hui Ā Rohe

Whakapiki Ake Whānau Hui ā Rohe, an evening gathering that aims to ignite passion for health sciences among our rangatahi. This hui is a golden opportunity for both our young ones and their whānau to explore the exciting world of health careers together. Our WHAR kaupapa is all about opening doors and minds. We’ll dive into the nuts and bolts of University prep, demystify the NCEA and University Entrance process, and shine a light on scholarship opportunities.

Engaging in Māori Traditions and Health Education

WHAR is designed to give our young ones the confidence to reach for the stars. We’ll discuss why health sciences are crucial for our communities, the importance of selecting subjects that keep doors open, and lay the groundwork for a strong university journey. We also map our clear academic pathways, discussing the duration of diferent degrees and the career opportunities they open up. WHAR is a supportive space where rangatahai and whānau can korero about their aspirations and plans, receiving guidance from health professionals rooted in wisdom and experience.

Cultivating Future Māori Leaders in Health

We provide comprehensive information about scholarships and grants available to Māori students pursuing health careers. We also discuss holiday work opportunities and we explain how StudyLink works, ensuring our whānau understand the financial support available during tertiary study. Join us to learn how your academic strengths and cultural identity can lead to a fulfilling career in health, contributing to the wellbeing of our communities. Whether you’re set on a specific health career or just starting to explore your options, our Whānau Hui ā Rohe is here to guide, inspire and empower.
