Welcome to the 2021 Huinga Ako! Please RSVP to your Kaimanaaki.
Huinga ako (advisories) are where you have an opportunity to work with a small group of ākonga (students) and your Kaimanaaki (Learning Advisor).
It’s a collaborative and fun space where you get to connect with your peers through interactive games and other activities.
This year you are encouraged to attend huinga ako. Ākonga often tell us that attending huinga ako makes a big difference to their learning and experience at Te Kura.
Huinga ako are also an opportunity to learn about:
-
How Te Kura works.
-
How your Kaimanaaki can help you to get organised.
-
Good study habits and setting goals.
-
What it means to be a good supervisor.
-
NCEA qualifications.
-
My Te Kura – our online learning environment.
-
Career possibilities.
If you would like to meet your Kaimanaaki at huinga ako, please remember to phone or email beforehand to let them know you are attending.
We are all really looking forward to seeing you and your whānau.
