Testimonials

Tautai o le Moana was established in 2015 and here are some of the things people are saying about us.

Mike Savali - St Patrick's College, Wellington

Tautai o le Moana has fortified my position as a Pasifika community leader, underscoring the need for a cultural lens. The insights from the professional development session steered my staff towards the College's mission, focusing on Pasifika student success. This journey has reinforced the importance of cultural awareness in academic settings.

Gretchen Smith - Linwood Avenue School, Christchurch

While student diversity is increasing, there is a general lack of diversity amongst New Zealand’s teachers. Tautai o le Moana is leading the way to share culture and language in a most positive and empowering way, building understanding and cultural knowledge.

Donna Slogan - Glen Eden Primary, Auckland

I have been so pleased to have Sepora as my facilitator. I have gained a much deeper understanding of the Pasifika community that I serve. My connection to our families is much stronger and more collaborative.

Zane Wilson - Takapuna Intermediate School, Auckland

Karl's explicit support throughout the programme has allowed me to continually reflect my leadership journey. The mentoring sessions were instrumental in my professional development, providing a safe space to ask key questions, share ideas and seek advice.
