Kia ora whānau,
My name is Rangi, I come from Waikato and I am running to be the Tumuaki or President of Te Rōpū Māori. I'm currently studying towards a BPhed. I enjoy anything Waka related, a bit of outdoorsie stuff and making things happen by working with people to make better changes for the future. After being on the Te Rōpū Māori exec this year as Vice President, I've built strong networks and have developed some ideas to put in place that I believe will help future Māori students who choose Otago Uni. As Tumuaki I will endeavour to do what I can for the students, because what you want is what I want.

Porourangi Templeton-Reedy
Ko Porourangi Templeton-Reedy toku ingoa. Ko Ngāti Porou te iwi.
As a former TRM executive member in 2014 and one of the current Co-Tumuaki of HMSA I’ve loved being a voice for tauira. Understanding how TRM operates is also beneficial as I have learnt where I need to make improvements and where Te Rito can make improvements. After gracing the covers of magazines and appearing on television Ads you cannot deny that I am a “face” for TRM. Above all, I want to continue to give back to TRM and all tauira. Vote for me whānau!!

Ko Te Aitanga-a-Mahaki te iwi. Ko Taylor-Rose (Tay) Terekia ahau.
Kia ū! Kia tau! Kia tūturu!
I am a 2nd year student, māori mentor and HMSA exec member.
I want to support tauira to be settled, focused on their studies and true to their māoritanga. I believe it's important to have a strong core communicator both tangata ki te tangata and through all our digital channels. How i plan to achieve this is by implementing my upbringing in te ao māori, my background in the creative and digital arts and my marketing and film & media studies majors. #māorioncampus #tayforcomms

My involvement within the Māori student community speaks volumes. I have been a Treasurer and am currently the Co-Tumuaki for HMSA (Maori Humanities Student Association), a Māori mentor for first year students, a tutor for a range of university Māori papers and this is just the tip of the iceberg. I pride myself on my writing skills and can communicate with various types of people.
All round G.B. 10/10 would vote for me!
