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:
Stay safe and well. Kia tau ngā manaakitanga ki runga ki a tātou katoa.
