Our team of senior mana moana students (tuākana) are dedicated to supporting you (teina) to find belonging and success during your studies. 

Tuākana weekly drop-in sessions and regular workshops aid you in your studies, and shared kai and korero throughout the year foster whakawhanaungatanga within the Schools and Faculty.

Tuākana Manaakitanga provides financial assistance for our students who are facing hardship or need support, and can help link to the broader University community.

We hold a range of events for Māori and Pacific students throughout the year, from noho marae to wānanga to cultural celebrations. 

If you have questions about the Tuākana Programme, then please feel free to get in touch with our Creative Arts and Industries Student Centre.
