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.
  • Contact: tupuranga@pw.maori.nz
