WST Inquiries 2022: Growing Our Practice

In 2022, our Kāhui Ako continued to focus on student learning and well-being, with absences being a significant issue across the country and in our local area. A group of WSTs became the in-school leads for the Manaiakalani Outreach Programme (TMP). As all leads had a similar focus, we captured only one video for this workstream. All of this work remained underpinned by student voice and culturally sustaining practice, ensuring learners and whānau were central to the inquiry process.
