Pua Ora is back!!👏

Waikato-Tainui have partnered with Banqer, offering Pua Ora, a 2-week learning experience designed to build your confidence with money and support your financial wellbeing.

There are three programmes available:
💰Banqer High Junior – generally aimed at rangatahi aged 13 - 18. It covers Financial Literacy concepts broadly and allows students to engage in many different areas, from progressing through a career to buying a house.

💰Banqer High Senior – Student-led and learning at your own pace. This programme is suited to rangatahi who have completed the Banger High Junior Programme and focused around decisions and situations students will likely face during their first few years after high school.

💰Banqer Beyond (Senior – Pakeke) - For adults building personal finance knowledge.

Each programme is designed to be engaging and accessible to any level. You'll learn things like how to manage bank accounts, what interest is, managing debt, planning for today and tomorrow, buying a house, investing your money and lots more.

Getting started is easy:
1. Sign up online
2. Check your emails and sign into Banqer
3. Learn in your own time

Motherhood can be one of life's greatest joys, but it can also bring challenges that aren't always visible.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, isolated, anxious, or like you've lost touch with who you are beyond being a mum, please know you're not alone.

Maternal mental health matters. Taking care of yourself is not selfish. It is an essential part of caring for your whānau. 🌿

Te Korowai Aroha mō ngā Māmā is a safe and supportive space where wahine can come together to connect, share, reflect, and replenish. Take a moment to step away from the pressures of daily life, breathe deeply, and refill your cup alongside other māmā figure who understand the journey.

✨ Connect with other wahine
✨ Learn strategies to support your mental and emotional health
✨ Enjoy kai, kōrero, and spot prizes
