heke toko mana

diploma in māori and administration


Toko Mana will prepare you for administrative leadership and planning roles within organisations and businesses. Learn about kaupapa Māori definitions of management and leadership, and how to develop effective administrative processes to help achieve organisational goals and objectives.


Heke Toko Mana examines the roles of managers and administrators as organisational leaders. You will undertake research about your marae and develop te reo Māori skills, including mihimihi, waiata and karakia. It is the first year of the three year Poutuarongo Toko Mana degree.


TE REO AND IWI AND HAPŪ STUDIES 


Over the year, you will complete weekly tutorials and activities in Te Reo via our online space, Mūrau. These not only prepare you to attend three hui rumaki reo on campus in the first year (or online for a covid contingency); but will further enhance your toko mana journey as you learn the value and mana our language holds in the business space. Yes, it can be scary, but you will not be taking the journey alone nor do you need to have any reo to begin! You will be guided every step of the way with tutor support.


You will also study two papers in Iwi and Hapū studies to compliment your learning, these are often the most rewarding part of study for the majority of our students as they gain a deep connection back to their roots. Your Iwi and Hapū papers will be online with excellent tutor support to help you through, week by week activities. The assignments that you complete will become a taonga and resource for your whānau, marae, iwi and will be treasured for years to come.


Te Reo and Iwi and Hapū studies begin in the first week of the academic year, so you can begin your studies before your first specialisation noho. You will also get the opportunity to meet your reo and iwi and hapū pūkenga during your first noho on campus.
