HETTANZ Conference 2026

We are excited to announce the HETTANZ Conference 2026!

The event will be held in Dunedin from 22–24 May 2026 at Otago University.

We are currently finalising the programme and will make it — along with the link for registrations — live in Term 4

We are looking for your involvement in the 'For Kaiako by Kaiako' sessions. This is the 7th year these sessions have been included in the HETTANZ conference programme, and delegate feedback has endorsed their value! 

Our 'For Kaiako by Kaiako' sessions are 45-minute slots (presentation plus question time) in your selected category – Health Studies , Technology, Hospitality, Year 7 & 8, Pasifika, Home Economics/Food & Nutrition, Materials & Processing Technology, Matauranga Māori and Hard Materials. 

If you are doing something innovative, interesting and inspiring in your classroom this is an opportunity to share it with your fellow teachers – we’d love to have you involved!

This conference is also looking to have a focus on Literacy and Numeracy and request that this forms part of the 'Kaiako by Kaiako' presentations. 

To submit your session idea, simply e-mail it to info@HETTANZ.org.nz    

Submissions should be 300-500 words. Please include your name, e-mail address, mobile phone number, school, and the category you think best fits your presentation.

 We look forward to hearing your ideas and having you involved.
