The Tupuranga Attendance and Engagement Service supports tamariki, rangatahi, and their whānau to:
- Feel good and have fun at kura
- Connect with friends and the school community, and represent their kura with pride
- Experience a sense of belonging and feel valued and validated in their identity, language, and culture
- Succeed in learning and acquire skills to thrive throughout life
Tupuranga kaimahi engage with and work alongside each ākonga, their whānau, and community to:
- explore and reduce any barriers to school attendance
- offer a range of learning options
- encourage whānau based solutions for ākonga to return and participate, to learn, develop, and achieve.
Referral Access:
- Young people aged between 6 and 16 years who have not attended school or kura for a while, or are not enrolled in a school or kura.
