RESPONSE

He Pae Mataara - Our protection framework

Everybody has a role to play in stopping the spread of contagious diseases and supporting each other through emergency situations. Our position is under active review and any emergency updates will be posted to this page.

He Pae Mataara is our protection framework.  It has guided Te Wānanga o Raukawa throughout the pandemic and continues to guide us through every emergency response situation that may impact on our ability to deliver our services and support our immediate stakeholders.


Our new normal includes:


  • Mask wearing is still encouraged where distancing is difficult.
  • A health and wellbeing check at campus sign in (both in person and online using Timecloud).
  • Revised tikanga for pōwhiri.
  • Options to hui online with external suppliers and manuwhiri.


We moved together through the pandemic, facing many new challenges. Our kaupapa guided the development of tikanga to keep our people safe. The implementation of tikanga including rāhui, as was the case with Te Āhuru Mōwai, is intended to provide protection. While many of those tikanga have now been removed, they can also be reintroduced should circumstances dictate. The well-being of our people will determine any decision in that regard.



Our core business to deliver teaching and learning is a priority and students affected by any emergency situation should make contact with their academic whare for support.  Kia mataara! All students should be prepared to revert to full online learning if an emergency dictates.


The following have been taken into consideration:

The TWoR protection framework, He Pae Mataara, continues to inform our infection control procedures and has been reviewed.

Campus protection protocols match or better those for the wider community.

RATs tests for staff and students are available on request, but not required.

Staff are supported to stay at home when sick. Hygiene practises are maintained and the use of masks for indoor settings is encouraged.

Covid-19, influenza and other infectious (contagious) diseases pose an on-going risk and are monitored.

Should a pandemic, natural disaster or any other state of emergency occur please maintain contact with your acdemic whare and be prepared to move to the online learning platforms to continue your journey.  

  • Daily Protocols

    Staff, students and manuhiri have a responsibility and a role in minimising the risk of contagious illnesses.


    1. In the interests of health and safety TWoR requires staff, students and manuhiri to use the online sign in system – timecloud. In the event of an emergency, we need to know who is on site.


    2. Anyone displaying symptoms of cough, cold, sore throat, runny nose or Covid-19 should stay home and take a RATs test.


    3. Masks are not required but strongly encouraged.


    4. Maintain personal hygiene eg. wash hands often and thoroughly.
