Māori Support

Welcome to the Māori Support page. Here you can access Māori support networks who can help you during your tertiary study.

Māori Student Associations

Māori support groups are tumeke! They are run by Māori tauira for Māori tauira. These rōpū provide cultural and whanaungatanga support. It doesn't matter what degree you are studying, anyone can join. Fun activities like sports events and marae noho are organised throughout the year. Māori Student Associations are awesome places to make new friends, especially if you have moved to another town for university.

"Being part of Māori student association has been a huge reason for why I enjoy and succeed in university. We do heaps of stuff from sports to community involvement. Ngā Tauira Māori is my whānau at uni and they support me to succeed."

- Kingi Kake Snelgar,
   2009 President of University of Auckland - Ngā Tauira Māori
