The vision of Lālanga is to champion the success of Maori and Pacific learners.
Lālanga is New Zealand’s most innovative wellbeing and education mentoring program for Maori and Pacific learners.
Lālanga has been inspired by our Pacific culture and the metaphor Lālanga. We champion, engage, and inspire our students through our specialised events, mentoring program, and digital platform.
Check out our partnership with Tamaki College
We launched Lālanga at Tamaki College. We’re excited about partnering with The Tamaki College Tereora Academy to champion the success of our Maori & Pacific students.
How we deliver our program
The success of our innovation is in our mentoring program that is delivered through the weaving of our four strands below:
EMPOWER
Our mentoring program is designed to enable and champion the success of our Pacific learners
ENGAGE
Our community events are designed to engage our Pacific learners, families and school.
INSPIRE
Our learner events are designed to inspire our Pacific learners.
ENCOURAGE
Our Lālanga software application has been designed to inspire, empower and encourage our learners in the program.
“We know that children and young people learn better when their needs are understood. Recognising and genuinely respecting their identities, languages, cultures and personal qualities is important and needs to be valued by the whole learning community.”
