Poipoia ōu Pumanawatanga - empowering our rangatahi

Written By Kim Manunui

For the past 9 years, this incredible programme has been empowering our rangatahi to navigate their secondary school journey with confidence and support – all proudly funded by Te Pae o Waimihia.

From NCEA achievement, driver licensing, university pathways, career planning, and more – Poipoia ōu Pumanawatanga is a hub for growth, connection, and opportunity.

Our team includes:

✔️Experienced, registered kaiako

✔️MoE-aligned support and insights

✔️Reo Māori learning assistance

✔️Financial literacy guidance

✔️Behavioural learning strategies

✔️Whānau engagement through the Ministry of Education

In 2024, we’ve welcomed 89 students into the programme – and there’s no cap on numbers, but registration is essential.

This kaupapa is more than just academic support – it’s about whakawhanaungatanga, building confidence, and creating pathways for our taiohi to thrive in education, wellbeing, and beyond.

📢Registrations are open now – join the movement!

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
