Tawa College Manaaki Committee

Manaaki Night evolved from a group of parents wanting to work together with local schools to provide support and information for students/whānau who need help or who want to help others in need.  The concept came from past tragic events in the community and a strong response from students and parents/whānau of "we need to do more".   Manaaki night aims to build a supportive school community and a "partnership with parents" attitude. 

 Manaaki night aims to build a supportive school community and "partnership with parents" attitude. with the overall aim to increase health and wellbeing in our community and give people clear information about where they can go for help. We hope that this will be a regular event on the community calendar.
