Information for Staff

1. Get ready for Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori - you could start with 

a. Test your mātauranga
Take this quiz by Te Papa and see where your te reo knowledge is at!

b. Download the Kūpu app
The picture-taking app Kūpu uses Google’s machine learning software to show people the Māori words for the objects around them – and it’s free via the Apple and Android app stores. If you have a phone that allows it, we recommend you check this out!

c. Some further ideas can be found at https://www.reomaori.co.nz/ideas

2. ImpactED are excited to be able to offer a free hui, which is also eligible for the PPTA travel and expenses grant 

If you feel like some free gin, and a winter escape in the holidays then feel free to join us in Methven or Timaru for our free #makeanimpact hui. https://www.impacted.co.nz/makeanimpact-hui-2022/

 

The PPTA has a grant available to help eligible kaiako cover costs (travel, accommodation, meals, and childcare) when attending Subject Association run events. The DSTA is a registered Subject Association, meaning the impactED hui is eligible for this funding; however, you will need to apply to the PPTA directly for reimbursement – please follow this link to find out more and to apply for preapproval.  

3. The text for all push notifications has been updated and Classroom action options, such as “Join class” or “View comment" have been enhanced. With this update, Classroom push notifications are much clearer and more actionable. |
