School Starter Packs!

The School Starter Pack initiative is back to support Ngāi Tahu tamariki begin the next step in their education journey!

Made up of an assortment of practical and taonga items, the pack includes items like a jacket, lunch box, drink bo le and a pounamu.

All registered Ngāi Tahu tamariki turning 5, enrolled in primary school and living in New Zealand or overseas can receive a School Starter Pack.

To learn more about School Starter Packs please visit our website and register your tamariki online at: ngaitahu.iwi.nz/whanau/opportunities/ school-starter-packs/

If your registered tamariki turned 5 from the 1st of July 2022, you may also apply to receive a pack, please email the Grants team so we can support you with an application.

Our friendly Ngāi Tahu Grants team are here to answer any pātai you may have, so don’t hesitate to get in touch on 0800 KAI TAHU or by emailing: schoolstarterpack@ngaitahu.iwi.nz

If you have already received a pack, we would love to hear what your tamariki thinks of their School Starter Pack so be sure to send us a pic, tag us in a post or flick us a message once their special pack arrives at your door.
