Maori Qualification Services staffing
Farewell
Sadly we announce that Leon Hawea has resigned from his position of Qualification Development Facilitator. Leon is heading back home to
Te Hauke, the land of sunshine, blue skies and it never rains. We wish Leon and his whanau all the very, very best for the future.
Welcome
MQS welcomes a new Qualification Development Facilitator, Oriana Rarere, who joins us on 12 January. Oriana was an Industry
Representative and comes to us from the Aviation, Travel and Tourism Industry Training Organisation.
Continuing
Tania will continue the role of Acting Manager of the unit to 27 February 2004 - this is additional to her role of Qualification
Development Facilitator. It is anticipated that advertising for this role will take place early in 2004.
Future recruitment
We anticipate advertising in The Dominion Post in February 2004 for two additional Qualification Development
Facilitators to join the MQS team.
 Te Ngutu Awa - graduation
The first graduates in New Zealand were awarded the National Certificate in Māori (Te Ngutu Awa) (Level 4), in a wonderful ceremony
organised and supported by Kahungungu whanui.
NZQA would like to acknowledge the Liz Hunkin for all her support that enabled this ceremony to be such a success. We would also like to
acknowledge Sharon Maynard, Christine Moetara and Mereaira Shepherd from Turanga Ararau. Walter Tamepo, Te Aroha Papa and Morehu Nikora
of Lytton High School. Liz and Graeme Hunkin of Te Kura Motuhake o te Ataarangi for your commitment, energy, time and passion for
education - your students are truly fortunate to have you all.
This was a true example of the community rallying together to celebrate the educational successes and achievements of their whanau. This
was evident with 2 or 3 generations graduating from individual whanau.
In the next edition of Te Huarahi we will be profiling three students from Te Kura Motuhake o te Ataarangi Alex-Ann Edwards,
Betty Anne Whaanga and Carmyn Williams.
