Tuākana Orientation 2012, Waipapa Marae.
16 - 17 February
Ka mau te wehi!
This year's Tuākana Summer Training Orientation, (Te Wānanga Raumati) was held at the University's Waipapa Marae. Over 60 tuākana mentors and tutors attended to hear keynote speakers Professor Margaret Mutu, Professor Michael Walker and Seiuli Terri Leo-Mauu. The students participated in workshops presented by inspiring academic and professional staff from across the University. For many of the tuākana the opportunity to whakawhanaungatanga and meet with others who are committed to Māori and Pacific student success, was the highlight. The wānanga began with waiata and a whakatau and ended with Zumba on the marae atea and a whakawatea.

Nearly 350 students attended the 2012 Māori and Pacific Orientation with their friends and family. After a joint powhiri with Rotuman and Samoan representatives speaking with Tangata Whenua at Waipapa Marae, the Pacific orientation continued back at the Fale Pasifika. The students participated in Tuākana workshops, a Talanoa session with family and mini tours of the University. Keynote speaker and Phd candidate Falaniko Tominiko delivered an inspirational message to the new students and their families. A Pacific feast and the music of Pacific reggae band Three Houses Down concluded the day. Pacific Equity Adviser Seiuli Terri Leo-Mauu says she was very pleased with the turn-out: "What a day it was! I'm looking forward to next year's Orientation and the new Pacific faces it will bring."
