Matatū May 2022: Teaching Council e-newsletter

Kia ora koutou,

Just highlighting that we have a follow-up question from our fees and levy consultation for you in this newsletter, as many of you told us we should explore ways we could further reduce our costs.

It’s hard to believe we’re in May already - kiwi music month. As always, there’s a lot happening at the Council, but of particular importance, and what I’d like to focus on in this month’s Matatū, is the recent fees and levy consultation.

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback. Your Governing Council looked closely at the feedback which resulted in further analysis, allowing us to identify some areas in relation to the levy where further savings can be made, by anticipating and planning to reduce costs in some areas.

We have options regarding how those savings are reflected in the levy and we need your feedback on this.

Below are two links - one to more detailed information on this further work and the other to a feedback form. Feedback opens today, 12 May and closes on Wednesday 25 May.
We hope you can take the time to read the additional information and provide feedback.

Ngā mihi nui,
Lesley

Kia ora koutou,

Hei whakamōhio atu, he pātai anō a Te Matatū Aotearoa e pa ana ki ngā pikinga utu, utu tāpiri hoki māu hei whakautu, I runga anō I te whakaaro nā koutou I kii mai ‘me kimi, me whai e Te Matatū ētahi atu ara kia mimiti te utu.

Auē, kua Haratua tonu - te marama puoro o Aotearoa. Kei te nui tonu ngā kaupapa ki te Kaunihera, ko te mea whai hiranga pea, ā, ko tōku tāhū kōrero mō tēnei putanga o Matatū, ko ngā pikinga utu, utu tāpiri hoki. 

Tēnā koutou i whakahoki kōrero mai. I āta tirohia e te rūnanga whakahaere ā koutou urupare, i hua ake ai ētahi atu tātaritanga, i āhei ai mātou ki te tūtohu i ngā wāhanga utu, e taea ai te penapena pūtea. Otirā, mā te whanga me te whakamahere hei whakaheke i ngā utu. 

E hiahia ana mātou ki te āta titiro ki tēnei āhuatanga o ngā whiriwhiringa kōrero. 

Kei raro iho te pātai me ngā hononga e rua. Ko tētahi hononga e pā ana ki ngā taipitopito whānui, ko tētahi he pepa urupare. Ka tuwhera ngā urupare i tēnei rā, te 12 o Haratua, ā, ka kati hei te Rāpare, te 25 o Haratua. 

Ko te manako ka whai wā koutou ki te pānui i ngā taipitopito, me te tuku urupare mai. 

Ngā mihi nui,

Lesley
