Talanoa Ako – Week 2 | Goals & Aspirations.

We’re back for Week 2 of the Talanoa Ako series with two educators who know our rangatahi, Mac Ikitule (Rowandale School, Auckland) and Meleua Ikiua (Alfriston College, Auckland).

As the new year unfolds, this is a powerful time for families to pause, reflect, and set clear goals with their children.

In this episode, we focus on goals and aspirations, why they matter, how to talk about them at home, and practical ways parents and caregivers can support learning beyond the classroom.

Parents and caregivers play a critical role in keeping young people motivated, confident, and engaged at school. Talanoa Ako creates space for open, honest kōrero that strengthens the partnership between home and school.

Children’s futures start with the conversations we have today.
