Awatapu College is pleased to be involved in the Maori Science Academy Puhoro programme. The programme began last year and is designed to guide Maori secondary schools students through NCEA, prepare them for transfer to tertiary study and ultimately to employment in a scientific career. Since being involved in the programme, students have surpassed both the non-Maori and Maori achivement rates in core Achievement Standards in NCEA Level 1 Physics, Biology and Chemistry. Click here to read a great article about the programme.
