Josh - Makuri School

Student Voice

“This opportunity has been amazing, I’ve really enjoyed being able to have more control in my learning but have good support. My teacher is awesome and I love his style and how interested he is in what we have to say and who we are”

Secondary student

I have really loved having the chance to take a subject my school doesn’t offer.

Learning online was not a barrier for me. I developed some important skills in managing myself to meet deadlines. I am proud that I passed all my assessments and exams in my online subject

The feedback from my student in the programme has been really positive. She enjoys the challenge and a chance to do more outside of what she would normally do in class.

I just like it, it feels comfortable for me like I’m in my own skin and normal and learning my own culture

    2025 Secondary courses are available too. Imagine introducing 35+ new subjects to your school across all NCEA levels, all taught by experienced teachers from our own school network. Find out how you can give your students this awesome advantage by joining Kōtui Ako.

    The kaupapa of reciprocity is the magic that enables the learning opportunities we bring to our schools. Any school, and any learner can participate in Kōtui Ako VLN. By contributing a teacher or resourcing a programme your ākonga can choose from a wide range of learning opportunities shared through our network. Our job is to lead and coordinate this kaupapa – yours is to participate and contribute. Understanding and supporting the kaupapa provides benefits for all our schools and learners.

    Try your hand at eteaching – opportunities to teach with us come up from time to time, register your interest with us and we’ll be in touch if there is an opening.

    Our team looks forward to hearing from schools in preparation for the 2025 year ahead. Please share the kaupapa by passing this newsletter on to schools in your network.

    Ngā mihinui,

    Rachel, Amanda
