P.D. at Mt Maunganui then homeward bound...

Had a great time at Mt. Maunganui just out of Tauranga. Really enjoyed meeting with our national team of kaiako (tutors/lecturers) for our professional development with a team of 8 of us.

It's a 3 hour drive out of Auckland and the weather was beautiful driving in and then 3 days later, driving out to Auckland.

We have four campuses offering the course of learning called: Kaitiakitanga (guardianship, protection, preservation etc.) Post Graduate Diploma of Bicultural Professional Supervision.

The campuses are at:

1. Tamaki Makaurau (Māngere, Auckland campus)
2. Mangakotukutuku (Hamilton campus)
3. Tauranga campus
4. Papaioea (Palmerston North campus)

I even got time to explore a lil' island with a walkway as pictured above and between meetings we were able to go for long walks, swimming at the hotel pool (I gave the sea a miss) or just chillaxing on our hotel balconies. 

Now ready for finishing my marking, closing the year and looking forward to visiting Samoa in a couple more weeks. Roll on Christmas...
