One of the newest members to our Pasifika staff – Teare Tau Gifford will share about her journey as an alumna of Te Rito Maioha, how she navigated study, work, life balance, and what helped her stay motivated to complete her studies. Teare recently completed her Masters of Education (ECE) and will share insights and reflections from her student journey.

We look forward to seeing you online 😊
