Tuakana Teina Programme

The Tuakana Teina (literally meaning older sibling-younger sibling) programme at Springs/Waiorea was rolled out in Week 1. We are very fortunate to have fantastic Year 13 student leaders who attended a day of training on Wednesday of Week 1 to welcome and guide our new entrants on their first few days at kura. The Year 13 students were attentive, caring and available to assist form teachers, Heads of Houses in orientating our new Year 9s.

Our appreciation and gratitude to the Heads of Houses who oversee this programme and to the form teachers who carry it out with the help of their Year 13 students.
