Whakapiki Ake
Whānau Hui ā Rohe

Hui ā Rohe brings Whakapiki Ake to your rohe, connecting rangatahi and whānau with pathways into health. These regional evening gatherings, hosted in collaboration with local schools and iwi, create space for meaningful kōrero about future possibilities in hauora. Get to know our kaupapa and the mahi we do – from Study Wānanga and tuakana-teina support, to helping rangatahi thrive in the sciences and find their path to university. Share kai and stories while learning about the journey ahead.

Building Strong Foundations

Together we explore crucial NCEA choices that keep doors open for health careers at the University of Auckland. Current students share their stories, while our team provides practical guidance about University Entrance requirements and support available at the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences. We help whānau understand how they can support their rangatahi’s academic journey and career aspirations.

Pathways in Health

Whether you’re interested in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, optometry, or other health-care pathways, Hui ā Rohe is your chance to get answers to your questions. Connect with others from your community, hear from tuākana who’ve walked this path, and discover the many ways Whakapiki Ake can support your journey from secondary school to university.
