Rauhuia | Leadership: Terenga Huihuinga | Symposia Series
23 March 2023
The next presentation in our Rauhuia: Terenga Huihuinga | Symposia Series focuses on Wairuatanga Me Te Manawaora - Leaders are valued for who they are.
Our guest speakers at this month’s event are Dr Jenny Ritchie, Associate Professor in Te Puna Akopai, the School of Education, at Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington, and Kat Alexopoulos and Tennessee Eccleston from Whitby Educare.
Dr Ritchie’s presentation positions the early childhood care and education sector in Aotearoa New Zealand as one that should be recognised as providing insight and inspiration for the field of educational leadership.
Kat Alexopoulos and Tennessee Eccleston will share where they have been, where they are now, and where they are headed to achieve the best possible outcomes for tamariki and whānau.
Here is a schedule of all symposia this year. Please visit the corresponding link to register your attendance. Please note that the February 23 event was postponed. We will announce details of when this symposium will be held when ready.
