Powhiri Pacifica Pathway PILOT Project for Diploma in engineering (NZDE):

Raise Māori student achievement through the development of cultural visibility and responsive practices across the pathway as measured against National Standards and agreed targets for reading Years 1-10 and NCEA years 11-13. As a CoL leader within the school. I  am more interested in inquiring about student learning and my own practice.


In the last week of term on the 5th July our school, along with Sir Edmond Hillary College, attended the Powhiri ceremony at MIT Marae. This was for the beginning of the Pacifica Pathway Pilot Project for the Diploma in Engineering block one (8th to 12th of July). 

The Mathematics department and the school are extremely excited for this opportunity into a pathway for engineering. The learners get the opportunity to get a taste of the tertiary environment, whilst still being at school with no cost. We are grateful to our Principal Soana Pamaka for bringing this initiative into our department. 

This programme will be rich in learning and collaboration. We hope that this initiative can be spanned out to other year groups in the future, and we are able to build stronger relationships with other schools too.

How does this fit into my Inquiry:
It enables my learners to try out a variety of pathways for next year to consider as careers. It also gives learners a plan B if their first option does not work out.
