WORKSHOPS FOR PASIFIKA PARENTS
Parents play a very important role in helping their children fulfil their potential. As parents, we all want our children to do well at school.
The Talanoa Ako programme aims to equip and empower Pasifika parents with the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to champion their children’s education and support their children’s learning journeys.
We have just successfully completed our first Talanoa Ako programme for 2025.
We are hoping to deliver another Talanoa Programme, which will commence later this year, so please watch this space for more information!
