Māori and Pasifika Homework Club

Talofa Lava, Bula Vinaka, Malo le lelei, Kia Ora Koutou and warm Pacific greetings.

We are back for 2026 and we have some new changes to share with you all!

We have chosen a new name for our club that we think encompasses what our purpose is: "Su'esu'e Ofaga". This name means ‘study nest’, which is the foundation of what we are aiming to do, providing skills for our students to take flight in the future.

Please take note of the following details as things will run a little differently for 2026:

Su’esu’e Ofaga Years 9 - 13

(important information)

• Start date: Tuesday 9th June (Week 8), and every Tuesday and there after.

• Time: 4.30pm until 6pm (this will start straight after Tangata Moana practice)

• Place: Te Kaika Moana

• Year Levels: Years 9 to 13

• Focus: Literacy and Numeracy but also the ability to support other subject areas as

• needed.

Kai will be provided to keep the

energy levels up!

We are very fortunate to have Ms Jenny Bennett, who is the Programme Coordinator for the Pacific Health Science Academy, from the University of Otago, become an integral part in the running of Su’esu’e Ofaga in 2026. She will work alongside both students and teachers, in providing guidance and support for our young people.

We can’t wait to see you all again!
