If you’re already using Ignite:
Going forward you will use the “Continue with Microsoft” button to use SSO using your student credentials rather than the Email address* and Password* you set up previously.
Note: this will set up a new profile on Ignite (and takes you through a quick onboarding process), however if you would like to access your previous booking history you can still log in with the Email address* and Password* set up previously.
Important note: we recommend entering your preferred email address in the “communications email” field in account settings. If you do not add this all-booking confirmations and provide communication will be sent to your Te Wānanga o Raukawa student email.
If you have any pātai you can email hello@ignite.org.nz or call 0800 244 648
If you’re new to Ignite:
Visit https://ignite.org.nz/login
Log in using the “Continue with Microsoft” button with your student credentials
You’ll be taken through a quick onboarding process where you are asked to enter your name, and an email address for key communication (like booking confirmations and provider communication) and other details if you wish.
You can then book free one to one mental health and wellbeing support sessions, workshops and webinars and more!
Access to Mental Health and Wellbeing Support with Ignite just got quicker and easier:
Great news! Access to Mental Health and Wellbeing Support with Ignite just got quicker and easier.
You can now log into Ignite using SSO (Single Sign On) via the Microsoft button – using the same student credentials you use to sign into eWānanga.
This means you no longer need to fill in an online form and request access to Ignite or wait to be sent an invitation.
He Ringa Āhuru - Ignite Wellbeing
He Ringa Āhuru : A Protective Hand, A Peaceful Space
He Ringa Āhuru was established to strengthen the wellbeing of Te Wānanga o Raukawa ākonga and their whānau through timely access to clinically informed and culturally grounded services that promote holistic wellbeing.
During the last 12 months, He Ringa Āhuru has delivered a holistic model of wellbeing that integrates clinical, cultural and community-based approaches to support ākonga and their whānau. Through Ignite Aotearoa, an online wellbeing platform, ākonga and their whānau could access registered counsellors, psychologists, social workers, life coaches and other wellbeing specialists. Through Hauora Wānanga, they were also able to engage with Māori healers, rongoā practitioners, mirimiri and romiromi practitioners and other cultural practitioners. This blend of services ensured that support was both professionally informed and culturally grounded, enabling ākonga and whānau to access care that reflected their diverse needs and aspirations.
At Te Wānanga o Raukawa, we are committed to ensuring your student experience is positive and enriching. This page is a central online hub designed exclusively for our ākonga. Here, you can explore our various support services to enhance your time with us and discover how to access these valuable resources.
Our primary goal is to support you on your educational journey, guiding you towards a higher level of learning. We aim to empower you to graduate with a well-respected qualification, opening diverse career pathways with a view that is Māori. This achievement contributes to your personal growth and significantly develops your whānau, hapū, and iwi.
We encourage you to navigate the resources on this page to make the most of your academic experience. If you have any questions or require assistance, our dedicated team is here to help you thrive during your time at Te Wānanga o Raukawa.
