Developing leadership skills and strengthening cultural connections.

Our students recently attended Rangatahi Ki Tua, a two-day Māori youth leadership summit held at Te Puea Memorial Marae in Māngere.

The summit provided opportunities for rangatahi to participate in workshops covering leadership, wellbeing, financial literacy, career pathways and future aspirations. Students also learned about Te Puea Marae and the Kīngitanga, while connecting with young people from other schools.

Our students represented Onehunga High School with pride and respect throughout the two days. We are pleased to see our rangatahi taking advantage of opportunities to strengthen their cultural knowledge, develop their leadership skills and build connections with others.

Kia kaha, kia māia, kia manawanui!
