NZARE Rae Munroe Recipient Profile: Hine Waitere

Hine Waitere of Ngati Tuwharetoa, Ngati Kahungunu and Tuhoe descent was the recipient of the Rae Munroe award in 1999.  Her dissertation Te kete, The Briefcase, Te Tuara: The Balancing Act - Maori Women in the Primary Sector explored the critical factors contributing to the success of Maori women in positions of responsibility working across immersion, bilingual and general stream programmes. Hine sees the award as having a critical catalytic role that underpins a number of opportunities that she has taken up since receiving the award. One opportunity that Hine took up subsequent to the award ceremony was the invitation to take up doctoral study in the states. The recognition also helped secure a Fulbright scholarship which enabled her to take her family with her. Hine returned from the University of Wisconsin Madison to a position in Te Uru Maraurau: Maori and Multicultural Education and is currently a senior lecturer in the School of Education Studies at Massey University teaching primarily in the M.Ed.Admin programme.
