Ma虅ori leaders play a significant role in shaping our nation 鈥� and more will be called upon to support the shaping of the generations to come. As our future leaders this is a time for you to further develop and refine your skills, expand and strengthen your knowledge base, build relationships and prepare for a career and life beyond study.

Coming to university can be daunting but we want you to know that there is a wha虅nau here committed to supporting your success. Ma虅ori students are visible and actively engaged in all aspects of university life, through a dedicated leadership role in the Waikato Students鈥� Union, Ma虅ori student groups across the 51萝莉 and P奴tikitiki 鈥� our M膩ori student space.

Alongside our student r艒p奴 is the M膩ori ki Waikato wh膩nau. Our collective goal is to assist you as you strive for success for you, your wh膩nau, communities, marae, hap奴 and iwi.

Kia kaha, kia ma虅ia, kia manawanui. Pai M膩rire.
