The Manaiakalani Journey - Pat Sneddon
Pat's Journey
Pat's keynote received a standing ovation. He shared from the heart, his journey. He was prepared to stand up, identifying the need for an articulated personal voice. No longer will Māori be trivialised, we must stand up for what we believe. After Springbok, NZ was getting upset about racism overseas, yet we needed and need to look at ourselves, here in Aotearoa.
1982 - 2006 Māori Trust Board - recovery of whenua. Pat's long term commitment - positive outcomes and manaakitanga; a willingness and generosity, to reimagine what might our future look like?
What does the Treaty mean for Māori and Pākeha? When Rangatiratanga is affirmed, Kawanatanga is most effective. Our Whakapapa...
Pat shared the story of 'Room 18 are hiring!' - Job advert designed and created by the learners, for their new teacher. Outstanding response.

BOOF - sometimes we have to 'boof' through the door, and work out what is on the other side
The learners want the opportunities to succeed.
Researchers - working with parents, intersection between homes, whānau, partnerships
Not poor me, rather what's next?

Takeaway:
In order to be transformational, we need a clear vision, a 'get up and go' attitude, be willing to BOOF through the door, take risks and opportunities, be resilient. Why? At the heart of the matter, is our ākonga, and the common goal of improved outcomes for ALL.
