FAQ

  • For cultural programming, there may be resource-related costs. This will communicate in confirming the enquiry.

  • This will be discussed and confirmed at the time of co-designing the programmes, but flexibility is appreciated as the Māori and Multicultural Services team is small and in high demand.

  • We ask kaiako/teachers to please note this request on the booking form as it is subject to the Māori and Multicultural Services team capacity and capability. This will be discussed at the time of co-designing programming.

  • All our cultural programmes are bilingual pertaining to the subject matter.
