Māori and Pasifika Support

The Māori and Pacific Centre is a kaupapa Māori space on New Plymouth campus where students can come for whakawhanaungatanga. It is a great hang-out and study area with computers, kitchen facilities and a friendly support team. Although based on New Plymouth campus, our kaitakawaenga team are just a phone call, an email, or a zoom away and are here to help wherever you're studying.

They provide a range of cultural and pastoral support services to encourage and tautoko all Māori and Pasifika students to achieve their study goals. They are here to support you before, during and at the completion of your learning journey.

Our kaitakawaenga team can help you with: 

  • Pastoral support from holistic view point
  • StudyLink help
  • Scholarship support
  • Iwi/Whakapapa connections
