Kia ora and welcome

Mihi

He hōnore he kororia ki te Atua
He maungarongo ki te whenua
He whakaaro pai ki ngā tāngata katoa
Kia whakapapapounamu te moana
Kia tere te karohirohi i tou huarahi
Ki a Kīngi Tuheitia e pupuru ana ki te Mana Motuhake
Ki a koutou ngā waka, ngā mana me ngā maunga kōrero
Nau mai haere mai ki Te Kuratini o Waikato
Tēna koutou, tēna koutou, tēna koutou katoa.

We acknowledge the creator of all things
May his peace cover the land, with goodwill to all 
May the calmness come upon your glistening sea 
We acknowledge the keeper of Mana Motuhake King Tuheitia
To all those who hold our rich heritage 
Wintec acknowledges and greets you all.
Tēna koutou, tēna koutou, tēna koutou katoa.

At Wintec | Te Pūkenga, we are continuously working to create environments that nurture Māori ways of knowing and being in order to see successful outcomes. We are on a journey, creating opportunities to realise a whole-of-organisation approach that focuses on Māori success, ngā āhuatanga Māori - Māori cultural identity, me he mātauranga Māori; and kaupapa Māori and te ao Māori - a Māori world view. Importantly, this has and will continue to raise equity for tauira Māori (students) at Wintec. Wintec has a commitment to Māori and Te Tiriti o Waitangi partnerships, and we will continue on this journey to build strong relationships and connect with Māori communities.​​
