Support for learners

We provide comprehensive support services to help learners succeed in their journey.
Te Whare Tapa Wha

Te whare tapa whā

Te Mahi Ako’s learner support system is guided by Sir Mason Durie’s Te Whare Tapa Whā model of health.

The four walls of the whare are the four key areas of our health: taha tinana | physical wellbeing; taha wairua | spiritual wellbeing; taha whānau | family and relationship wellbeing; and taha hinengaro | mental and emotional wellbeing.

While you are on your learning journey with us, we’ll endeavour to help you maintain your wellbeing across all these areas, so you can thrive as a person and succeed in your programme.

At Te Mahi Ako, we uphold an inclusive approach to learner support, where we prioritise the wellbeing of all learners, regardless of their international or domestic status.
