Ko te manu e kai ana i te miro nōna te ngahere, ko te manu e kai ana i te mātauranga nōna te ao.

Our first and second Rūnanga Wānanga of the year!!

Our Rūnanga Wānanga brought together Māori law tauira from across the motu to connect, kōrero, learn and prepare for the year ahead. Grounded in tikanga, kaupapa Māori and whanaungatanga, the wānanga provided a space for our tauira to strengthen their mātauranga, build relationships and support one another on their journeys through law.

Tūmatakahuki is slowly but surely making it way to the top. We have amazing tumuaki from each law school doing their absolute best to pave the way for Tauira maori in te ao ture.

A special mihi to those who made these wānanga possible. Mei kore ko koutou, this kaupapa wouldn’t have happened.

A huge mihi to our major sponsor, IPLS none of this would have been possible without your unwavering support, as well as Te Ara Haepapa (Auckland Transport) and Subway New Zealand , for your support and awhi towards our Rūnanga Wānanga. Your contribution has helped us create these spaces for our Tumuaki to connect, learn, lead and grow together.

‘He waka eke noa’ we move forward together.

Ngā mihi nui to everyone who contributed their time, mātauranga and manaaki to make this wānanga possible🌿
