Māori and Pacific Student Support

EIT's Pouwhirinaki - Margaret Young

The role of the Pouwhirinaki is to provide on-campus support for Māori and Pacific students studying at EIT.  We achieve this by providing a confidential setting for students to discuss their educational needs. 

Pastoral Care Support

Māori and Pacific support services provide advice and advocacy in:

  • Cultural needs and values
  • Studylink for student loans and allowances
  • Iwi grants and Māori and Pacific Scholarships
  • A confidential setting where students are able to come in and talk freely.

Academic Mentoring and On-Campus Referrals

Māori and Pacific support services work closely with other support services on campus.  We can organise the appropriate mentors and environment to help you achieve success in your chosen area of study.
