The Te Kaunihera Neehi Māori: Māori Nursing Council Conference, held at the start of this month at the Ngā Kete Wānanga Marae, was not just a conference but a vibrant celebration of culture, unity, and the future of healthcare in New Zealand.

Charlize Wilson, an ākonga in our NZ Skills for Living for Supported Learners programme, featured on a recent episode of Down for Love (Season 2, episode 3). The show featured a clip of 18-year-old Charlize in class at our Ōtara campus with lecturer Cushla Wilson and her classmates.

Students from our Bachelor of Applied Counselling course have caught the attention of national mental health advocate Mike King and his I Am Hope foundation. Part of the three-year degree programme, which includes on-campus, self-directed and online learning, is a 200-hour practicum placement under the supervision of a trained counsellor.
