I tū te hui tuatahi o te Poari Pūmāturanga i te 6 o Haratua. Ko te heamana ko Chris Collins, te Kaiwhakahaere Mātāmua mō tēnei wā.
I kī ake te Heamana Kaunihera a Murray Strong e hari ana te NZIST i ngā pūmanawa o ngā kaitono i ngā tūranga 12 o te Poari Pūmātauranga.
“He poari mātaaho tēnei, inā kē te momo o te mātauranga, ngā pūkenga hei painga mō NZIST, mō ana āpitihanga, te rāngai mātauranga mō te motu hoki. Ka tāria te wā e whai koha ai rātou ki tēnei kaupapa me te mahi tahi me rātou anō.” te kī a Mr Strong.
Ko tā te Poari he whakatakoto i ngā rautaki, he ārahi hoki i te mātauranga, me tētahi hanganga ā-motu kia ū ai te kounga, te tautukunga me te ōrite o ngā whakaakoranga. Ka whakaata hoki ia i ngā mātāpono o te Ōritetanga (tertiary success for everyone), te auaha, te tau me te mahi ngātahi puta noa i te kōtuituinga pūmātauranga o te NZIST.
