Noah’s family is filled with passionate Māori advocators. Having completed his te reo Māori teaching degree at the University of Auckland, Noah took his first teaching role in Glen Eden and then an HOD te reo Māori position at Rosmini College.
Three and half years later he has joined Dr Will Flavell and the Education Māori portfolio at Te Hononga Akoranga COMET focused on helping facilitate change for our rangatahi and communities. Noah’s goal is to establish resources and support for schools to normalise te reo Māori within the curriculum and advocate for those without voices.
