Education Investment

I just wanted to write to thank Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu for the recent grant I received of $500 towards my postgraduate studies this year.

I am awaiting my results for my postgraduate diploma in education and intend to study further in the future to achieve a masters degree. I have a kaupapa in mind and look forward to developing my skills further at postgraduate level.

I am very grateful Ngāi Tahu recognises the commitment that students and uri make towards their studies and also for the practical support in investing pūtea to help us achieve our goals.

Although I live in the North Island, if the rūnanga recognises any way that I can make a contribution back to the iwi through my skills, particularly in knowledge of Māori education, then please feel free to contact me.

Once again, thank you for the pūtea. Kā mihi ki a koutou katoa.
