Teacher's conference 2026

Our Teacher's conference aims to brings together secondary school teachers to share programme information, insights, and support, enabling them to better assist students in making informed decisions about study options at Waipapa Taumata Rau.

This is also an opportunity for teachers to gain greater awareness of study areas beyond their own subjects, supporting their wider role as form teachers and academic advisers.

Conference objectives:

• Show how school foundation skills connect to university programs.
• Explain the structure and content of offered papers.
• Highlight the importance of specific subjects for certain pathways.
• Strengthen relationships between schools and faculties and inform about outreach opportunities for students.
