To Help Students, Help Themselves

Tātai Aronui is a committed student support service caring for all new and current students who are studying under Te Pua Wānanga ki te Ao - School of Māori and Pacific Development (SMPD). We are here to assist you throughout your course of studies by providing academic assistance; personal assistance; and a referral service for additional information about other services on campus. Here at the University there are also many opportunities for you to develop physically, spiritually, mentally and intellectually through Māori focussed events such as; kapahaka, pōwhiri, kai tahi, hākinakina etc.
We are available from Monday to Friday and you are welcome to come in and talk to us about anything to do with your studies; University life in general or just to have a kōrero. We are eager to meet you so don't be shy, come on in, call or email!
Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā anō tātou katoa.
