Fueling your fire as you take your next steps in Digital Technologies and Hangarau Matihiko (Pou Hihiko)

Discover more fun and exciting ways to unpack and integrate the new content using authentic contexts into your local curriculum. Experience a range of activities to take away and use across learning areas and levels. Save time and grow your skills and confidence as you meet like minded people and gain fresh ideas.

The meetup will be delivered bilingually and will cater for all participants. We invite all Māori and English Medium kaiako to attend as the skills and knowledge covered in these sessions are relevant to both contexts.
