Mā te Huruhuru ka Rere te Manu | Learning Support at AIC | What’s Up AIC

In this special episode of What’s Up AIC, we shine a light on the heart of learner success- the Learning Support team at AIC.
Guided by the Māori whakataukī “Mā te huruhuru ka rere te manu” - Adorn the birds with feathers, so they can soar! This episode explores how support, guidance, and care help students grow, gain confidence, and reach their full potential.
Join host Sangya Sapkota as she sits down with Amelia Funaki and Shannon Leigh Wolfaardt , two inspiring wāhine who work closely with students every day through academic guidance, wellbeing support, creative workshops, cultural learning, and practical tools for success.
From language and academic workshops to Kahoot moments, peer tutoring, and everyday encouragement, this episode celebrates the people behind the scenes who make learning feel possible.
If you’re a new student, international learner, or just curious about what support looks like at AIC , this one is for you.
