Kia ora nga Tauira Maori o Te Whare Wananga

Results of 2014 Learner Advisory Panel released

YAY. It is that time when we’re nearing the end of lectures and the beginning of EXAMS! Yahooooo. This will be our last column for the year in the awesome Critic magazine. I would like to thank everyone who has been involved with TRM this year: no matter how small or how big your contribution, it has been amazing!

We have just completed a huge month full of elections and I, for one, am glad its over. However, specific congratulations to our new TRM executives 2015! Thank you to all the voters – a whopping 312 Māori students voted in TRM elections. Ka Pai!
Our hot topic this week is all about Te Rōpū Māori Hui Motuhake (AGM). This is where your new executives for 2015 will be introduced to you all. But more importantly, this is also where changes are made. So please read the proposed constitutional amendments and send in your feedback (for example, if you agree or disagree with any changes). Have your say because this affects all of you in some way. We hope to see you there!

Also we have the financial budget to submit at our AGM, which makes it even more important for you all to have a look and have your say. If you agree, disagree or have patai, please send them in to TRM email before the AGM.

On a more fun note, if you want to chillax and sing some waiata before exams come along to TRM whare and give us a “G-sharp.” You all know how I love karaoke I will totally join you with an “E-minor.”

Best of luck for your exam preparation. You are all most welcome to use TRM whare and if you need any support, let us know and we will sort it out together.
Love you all. Peace out!
