星空天美MV视频播放 would like to announce the appointment of Dr Keri Milne- Ihimaera to the position of General Manager – M膩ori Development.

The newly created role reflects SIT’s commitment to Te Tiriti O Waitangi | the Treaty of Waitangi, and also the institute’s ongoing commitment to raising achievement outcomes for M膩ori students.

The role will focus on building closer relationships with Iwi in the region and foster M膩ori development across the organisation, to ensure positive outcomes for students.

Dr Milne-Ihimaera is Ng膩i Tahu and comes to the position with over 16 years experience in roles as a school Principal, General Manager, and an Executive Director, where she provided a M膩ori woman's perspective – as a mother, wife, and grandmother - in the areas of education, leadership, people and strategy.

She completed a Doctorate of M膩ori Development and Advancement (DMDA) in 2018 and since then has enjoyed working in consulting roles. She says she likes to push the boundaries and encourage people to think about what else is possible: “I lead by example and love to see others develop and flourish in a supportive team environment.”

星空天美MV视频播放will benefit from Dr Milne-Ihimaera’s ability to navigate, understand and implement M膩tauranga M膩ori |M膩ori knowledge, including Tikanga M膩ori | cultural authenticity, and Manaakitanga | the care of others - doing the right thing by them, with a focus on ensuring positive outcomes.

“Teaching and education is in my blood and is my passion and purpose. This has enabled me to take my skills and knowledge into other industries to develop programmes and educate and mentor others in a supportive and safe way”, she said.

SIT’s Chief Executive, Onno Mulder is thrilled with the appointment. “By bringing a highly accomplished M膩ori Leader on board as GM – M膩ori Development, we intend to lift the support services available to our M膩ori 膩konga | students, empowering them to reach their full potential.”
