University of Waikato - Tauranga This is the official page of the University of Waikato - Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, Aotearoa

The University of Waikato has been active in the Bay of Plenty region since the 1990s, when it first formed an alliance with the Bay of Plenty Polytechnic (now Toi Ohomai) to facilitate teaching in the Western Bay of Plenty. This was the first time the University provided face-to-face learning outside of Hamilton. In 2001, the University’s first cohort of students in the Bay of Plenty graduated in Tauranga.

Ngā mihi nui to Koro Tamati Tata for sharing his mātauranga with us and helping us connect with these stories as we celebrate Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori.

As Koro Tamati reminds us: “Be like our rangatira (chiefs) and keep speaking Māori always.”

Kia kaha te Reo Māori! ❤️
