Te Ara Whakamana: From Kaupapa to Classroom – Auckland (Janelle Riki-Waaka)

Practically applying tiriti-honouring and culturally empowering practices in your kura
Tiriti-honouring practice is about walking the talk! It’s how we welcome whānau at the gate, how we design learning content, how we show up for ākonga every single day.

This full-day workshop, led by Janelle Riki-Waaka of Riki Consultancy, is for kaiako and school leaders across Year 0 to Year 13 who want to ‘do the mahi’: real examples from kura across Aotearoa, honest kōrero in a safe and supportive space, and hands-on time to explore what culturally empowering practice actually looks like in your own kura.

Huakina: opening minds, improving practice – Nathan Wallis & Melanie Riwai-Couch

Engaging with an indigenous framework and learning a worldview beyond your own offers profound benefits that extend far beyond the obvious. Whether or not you identify as indigenous, this experience activates unique neurological connections, altering foundational brain structures. These changes enhance overall intelligence, resilience, and perseverance, particularly in children.
Nathan and Melanie combine their expertise in Tikanga Māori, indigenous education, and neuroscience to offer teachers new ways to expand their knowledge and practice. Inspired by the remarkable connections between research and tikanga, they aim to share this understanding to support teachers in their journey.
