The 2025 NZEI Te Riu Roa Annual Conference | Hui-ā-Tau is being held at Rotorua Energy Event Centre from 22 – 24 September 2025
Face to face, forehead to forehead
The implications of this kōrero go beyond “close quarter combat” but definitely speak to being present, being direct, being personal and committed in any engagement.
The bigger picture is: how do we prepare ourselves for being Kanohi ki te kanohi, rae ki te rae?
Just as our tīpuna trained for combat, so must we be trained and disciplined in our present-day form of combat.

Annual Meeting | Hui-ā-Tau in Rotorua
NZEI Te Riu Roa has procedures whereby it can recognise those members who have given distinguished or outstanding service to education and/or the Institute. Members considered for recognition will have conducted themselves in ways that promote and maintain the dignity and welfare of the Institute, advanced the cause of education and reflected their responsibility to learners and the community. This recognition takes the form of the award of Honours, which are considered by the Honours Committee and made on behalf of the Union by National Executive and then announced at Annual Meeting
NB:
In the months leading up to Hui-ā-Tau, we put out a call for resolutions. All resolutions need to be sanctioned by the Te Kahu Kiwi (National Executive, and Te Reo Areare) or a meeting of an Area Council, Branch, Aronui Tomua or Komiti Pasifika.
