Iwi data 
Pūhoro rangatahi affiliate to 86 iwi throughout Aotearoa from Te Taitokerau through to Te 
Waipounamu. Pūhoro rangatahi are encouraged to register officially with their iwi online, and 
through different tuakiri (identity) sessions are able to further grow their own knowledge of

NZQA Data Modelling 
NZQA  also  capture  achievement  data  through  proportions  of  learners  that  gain  science 
subjects.  We  received  the  data  set  late  June  and  have  not  completed  the  full  analysis 
however, we note the following achievement for Year 11 students.

•  8.9% Māori Year 11 students gained one or more science subjects in 2021

non-Māori  students  gained  one  or  more  science  subject  in  2021.  However  for  Pūhoro 
students, almost 2 in 5 gained one or more science subject in 2021 thereby almost doubling 
the 
subject achievement rates of non-Māori.

discipline  and  includes  students  who  gained  a  science  subject  (minimum  14  credits  per 
subject) and those who may not have gained a subject but passed a standard or may not have

In 2021, Y12 Pūhoro rangatahi achievement was on-par or above national Māori pass rates. 
This is expected for tauira that at year 12, are choosing to maintain a science pathway when 
under

2020. Covid19 has continued to impact our senior Pūhoro tauira in conjunction with all tauira 
across Aotearoa. However, despite facing the difficulties of personal, economic and whānau 
pressures and priorities, Y13 Pūhoro rangatahi have remained engaged at school and in the

Tertiary Transitions 
In 2022, despite the struggles and complexities that Covid19 has posed to our rangatahi over 
the past two years, 59% of Pūhoro Year 13 tauira transitioned directly into tertiary study in 
Semester 1 2022 with an additional 10% currently in preparation to enter tertiary studies in 
either Semester 2 of 2022 or in 2023. Of these tauira, 58% have chosen, or will choose a STEM 
pathway including, but not limited to, studies in the sciences, vet science, sport and health 
sciences, computer and data science and environmental sciences. A further 9% transitioned 
1982
into  apprenticeships/trades  or  preparations  for  the  NZDF  and  20%  have  transitioned  into 
mahi. Additionally,7% of tauira in study have included Māori studies within their degrees and

5% of tauira in mahi are working in kaupapa Māori organisations. 
At a time when Covid19 impacts have worn heavily on tauira physical and mental wellbeing,

In the Term 1 holidays of 2022, the Wānanga Pūrau events were created and implemented in 
response  to  the  necessary  cancellation  of  the  Term  1  Wānanga  due  to  Covid-19  group 
gathering restrictions. These were day events that were carried out in the regions by kaihautū 
and encompassed mātauranga Māori learnings, digital technology, and an array of broader 
science learnings to smaller rangatahi groups that were permissible within the current red-
light settings of that period.

Pūhoro  has  successfully  just  completed  Term  2  Wānanga  across  Auckland,  Manawatū, 
Hawke’s Bay, Christchurch, Rotorua and Waikato. This was the first time that wānanga had

the 
Pūhoro was able to pivot swiftly during Term 1 of the year 2022, despite a component of the 
Term commencing under Covid-19 red-light settings. This was evident in the pre-empted plan 
to  switch  general  Term  Wānanga  for  Term  1  towards  smaller  excursions  in  the  form  of 
under 
Wānanga Pūrau – Mini STEMM Wānanga. Because of this, rangatahi were successfully able 
to experience Wānanga in smaller groups without missing out entirely. This clearly conveyed 
the  swift  responsiveness  of  Pūhoro,  learning  from  past  experiences  Covid-19  has  brought 
throughout the last three years. 
Released 
A shift towards the  orange-light setting in Term 1  of 2022 was  welcomed by Pūhoro, with 
face-to-face Kaihautū sessions and Wānanga now able to resume in their entirety. A shift to 
a relatively “normal” environment has been organic, however Pūhoro remain vigilant to the 
potential effects of three years under Covid-19 restrictions, on the wellbeing of our rangatahi. 

To ensure the continuation of our rangatahi successes, Kaihautū have been extra attentive to 
their holistic wellbeing, keeping in touch with rangatahi and their whānau, ensuring they feel 
balanced and ensuring that everyone is on the same page. Despite the potential for continued 
change in traffic-light settings moving forward, Pūhoro will continue to mobilise its resources 
and pivot accordingly to ensure the safety of rangatahi wellbeing, whether it be via Kaihautū 
face-to-face contact, phone contact, social media postings or online engagement, therefore 
using any resources at Pūhoro staff disposal to keep engagement high.

Case Study – Kura Matihiko (Digital School) Digital Pathways focus 
As Pūhoro has grown and developed, we have been able to see more clearly the gaps that 
exist for rangatahi Māori and necessary opportunities we can facilitate which can help close 
those gaps particularly in relation to the future workforce and the capability required.  
 
Digital  pathways  for  rangatahi  Māori  have  come  into  a  clear  focus  for  Pūhoro  and  the 
Information 
following information highlights the need for an improvement in this area for Māori. Only 4% 
of the entire Tech workforce identify as Māori (3,944 out of 98,583) as of 2019. There is a 
clear talent pipeline issue as a declining number of Māori are taking up Tech, which includes 
a  lack  of  basic  digital  foundations  through  to  falling  higher  level  study  uptake  in  Tech. 
Official 
Subsequently, this then negatively impacts already declining industry numbers of Māori in the 
the 
Tech sector. This is further emphasised as Māori completion rates in Tech study (tertiary and 
non-tertiary)  sit  at  around  38%.This  data  illustrates  that  there  is  an  alarming  disconnect 
between Māori and not only the Tech industry but also Tech education.  
 
under 
In  response  to  this,  Pūhoro  has  employed  three  digital  educators  into  the  kaupapa  and 
created  Kura  Matihiko  (Digital  School)  which  was  trialed  across  Pūhoro  regions  during  the 
Term 1 Wānanga Pūrau – Mini STEMM Wānanga. As part of the programme, rangatahi are 
introduced to coding, they learn how to write code in both HTML and CSS languages to create 
Released 
their  own  personal  two  page  website.  This  website  includes  their  pepeha  and  some 
interesting facts about themselves they would like to share. Rangatahi are also introduced to 
content creation and a few aspects that come with it, such as recording (using the camera 
and green screen etc.), editing  (using Da Vinci Resolve) and learning how to code it into their 



own  website.  Rangatahi  are  then  able  to  get  creative  with  their  content,  filming  videos  of 
themselves sharing their pepeha and projecting it onto their green screen Pūhoro t-shirts that 
were created specifically for Kura Matihiko. Some feedback received from Kura Matihiko is

Information 
What this initiative showed us, is that rangatahi have a desire to engage more fully in Tech 
and  Kura  Matihiko  was  able  to  connect  both  tuakiri  (identity)  and  Tech  together  in  a 
meaningful way which further strengthened their appetite and desire to pursue it. The three 
digital  educators  in  Pūhoro  wanting  to  build  upon  Kura  Matihiko,  created  a  Wānanga 
Official 
workshop called Meta Marae (pictured below) which was experienced at Term 2 Wānanga 
the 
for  the  first  time.  The  workshop  required  rangatahi  to  plan  out  the  building  of  their  own 
virtual  Marae.  From  there,  once  their  plan  had  been  created,  they  then  entered  a  VR 
landscape  and  were  able  to  create  in  that  forum  their  own  Meta  Marae  based  upon  the 
under 
components that they had planned out together previously. Rangatahi and school teachers 
who witnessed this new workshop, commented on how interesting and enjoyable it was, and 
noted the important connection for rangatahi between their identity and the workshop being 
undertaken.

“I really enjoyed the participation and the engagement. People really got into it.”
“Surgeon talk. I learned a lot about the history of Māori people in medicine. It was really
cool to have someone come talk about their experiences.”

“We were put into groups and had the chance to experience 3 different workshops. We first
went to the Surgeon workshop. We met a māori wahine student who taught us about
surgery and how different surgeons operate different organs. I learnt a lot”

Teachers and Whānau were equally impressed by the kaupapa and how the wānanga
further consolidate engagement with the programme and create that Māori STEMM

community in the region. Thank you for the on-going support of the Ministry of Education.
