Kia ora Pūhoro Whanau!

We are canceling the Quiz Night planned for the 24th June, which was to be held at the University of Waikato. Sorry to those that had registered, and we look forward to meeting and getting to know you all in the coming term.

We felt that with the Chiefs' home final, the normal end of term stresses and Matua Taz and his darling welcoming their new baby about a week early (Congrats!), the event might not have the same effect and reach.

We hope you all have a great weekend, and look foward to seeing as many of our tauira on Tuesday 27th at the Uni for our Term 2 Wānanga.

Matua Aaron, Matua Taz and Matua Arahi

Term 1 Wānanga is upon us whānau.

On Thursday 23rd of March at the Globox Arena (Claudelands Event Centre), we hold the first of 3 Wānanga for the year.

A wānanga is a full school day where tauira of Pūhoro get to meet new people and create new connections with tauira from other schools in the region. We also give tauira industry experience through our many partners in the STEMM fields.

What a great opportunity for the students to build a community of like-minded learners

We've teamed up with Te Ope Kātua o Aotearoa NZ Defence Force to give 50 rangatahi Māori the opportunity to experience what careers in the defence force are like.
