Future of Learning & Work

This pedagogy is the foundation and framework for our connections with a wide variety of contacts and connections that are designed to raise awareness and understanding in our tauira and create real partnership with a variety of places of work and vocations. 

This year our tauira have met with and had connections with:

• KPMG

• Members of the Public Service

• Media

• Philanthropists

• A variety of commercial representatives

• Tertiary educators

• Educators from other countries

• Educators from other schools in NZ

We are continuing the conversation with ANZ to discuss pathways and the breaking of ethnic and gender stereotypes.

We are also blessed to have experienced support from Google, the Manaiakalani Hackers and Manaiakalani Education Trust, who have all been significant enablers in this space.

We owe a particular debt of gratitude to KPMG who have not only hosted our children in at their corporate headquarters in Auckland city twice a term, but have also hosted our Manaiakalani Admin Staff.

We are also fortunate to be in a long term partnership with Fusion Networks who supply tech support to our schools whilst running micro credentialling and internships for our Manaiakalani Rangatahi.

As our relationship and partnership with Ngāti Paoa grows, we also look forward to growing our tauira through partnership projects focusing on care for our local environment and connecting our tamariki with their mana whenua.

We are working on setting up an IOT Network which will connect with the "Things Network" globally, to anble our tauira to connect with their own garden and waterway data, analyse performance and make informed choices about how to improve their environment.

We were able to bring back from ISTE the opportunity to work more effectively with Gemini, the AI incorporated into Google Workspace and to work with providers in the UK to enable Adobe Express for all learners in the Manaiakalani Network, beginning with our own school. This AI enabled creative platform is now available to all Pt England learners.

We also brought back from ISTE an AI enabled peer - peer coaching platform (Vosaic) and a Totem Camera that integrates well and easily our hardware and that software. We have implemented this in Pt England and the system will be in full use in 2025.
