BACKGROUND: (In Brief).

Hato Pāora College has produced many fine students such as

  • skilled workers
  • professionals
  • fathers and grandfathers
  • leaders

who are making a positive contribution within their Whānau, Hapū, Iwi and Communities on a National and Global level.

MOVING FORWARD: MO TAKU KURA NEI E!

In short, we can no longer take for granted and rely on others to sustain the future of Hato Pāora College.

The survival and future of Māori Boarding Schools (MBS) are now under threat. In reality; the future of Hato Pāora College lies with US meaning YOU, ME, WE (Old Boys and Whānau Whānui).

On behalf of the Kura and the Old Boys Association, we are calling for Old Boys and their Whānau to consider investing their sons’ and grandsons’ education back to the Kura and contribute to the Pāora Tino Toa Sponsorship Programme.

If we are truly serious about sustaining the future of our Kura beyond its 75th Diamond Jubilee come 2022, we then need to

  1. connect old boys to the official Hato Paora Old Boys Facebook-Page (Bros – Hato Paora) so we can communicate with them and remain connected
  2. encourage Old Boys and Whānau to consider investing in their sons’ / grandsons’ education back at the Kura and
  3. contribute to the Pāora Tino Toa Sponsorship Programme and apply other positive initiatives.

These are the key strategies that will sustain the future of Hato Pāora College towards and beyond its 100th Centennial Jubilee in the year 2047.

The Legacy continues.

Mahanga Williams

SO WHAT’S IN IT FOR SPONSORS? GOLD/SILVER and how will they be acknowledged?

$500 SILVER MEMBERSHIP PLAN: It is optional if you wish to make payments all in one lump sum or $100 annually over a 5 year period, it’s up to you.

Upon signing up to a $500 SILVER MEMBERSHIP PLAN, sponsors will receive an official letter of acknowledgment for their contribution. They will also have their names placed in the PTTSP Honours Board Booklet in SILVER lettering for public viewing in the Wharenui at the Kura and will be digitally displayed on the Kura App and Old Boys Association website. Another acknowledgement, sponsors will receive the PĀORA TINO TOA – MEMBERS PIN (badge) when they have contributed to the full amount of $500. The PĀORA TINO TOA – MEMBERS PIN (badge) will be formally presented to sponsors at the Kura end of Year Prize Giving.  The presentation will show the sponsor’s contribution and their loyalty to the Kura.  It will also provide a platform for current students and their whānau to witness such a special occasion.  It will set a benchmark and example for current students to become sponsors for when they transition to be old boys themselves.  We encourage all sponsors to promote the PTTSP by wearing their PĀORA TINO TOA – MEMBERS PIN with pride in public especially when they return to the Kura; students and staff members will know they have invested in the PTTSP.

$1,500 GOLD MEMBERSHIP PLAN: Again it is optional if you wish to make payments all in one lump sum or $100 annually, it’s up to you.

If SILVER MEMBERSHIP sponsors wish to continue their contribution towards the next level a GOLD MEMBERSHIP PLAN. As an acknowledgement, their names in the Honours Board Booklet will be re-plated in GOLD lettering.  ALL Gold Membership sponsors will have their names placed on the PTTSP Honours Board displayed at the Kura. These sponsors again will be invited back to the end of Year Prize Giving to receive the supreme PĀORA TINO TOA TAONGA including a LIFE TIME MEMBER AWARD CERTIFICATE.
