Every pathway is important and valuable when it is the right fit for your rangatahi at this stage of your journey. If They are unsure about their pathway or have subject selection coming up, make an appointment in the Careers Room. Together, we can help keep their future options as open and flexible as possible.
MyMahi Platform
Congratulations to the many Rangitaiki College students engaging positively with the MyMahi platform. It is fantastic to see students exploring the gratitude tools, job pathways section, and entry-level employment opportunities.
