Puatala and Tangaroa College: Building Mindset Muscles for the Future

A big thank you to Tangaroa College for allowing Puatala to be part of their students’ journey. At Puatala, the goal isn’t just to run programs; it’s to build mindset muscles. The real win isn’t in grades or accolades, but in the belief that students can grow, adapt, and overcome any challenge.

More Than Just a Course: It’s About Growth

The Incomparable Gateway Programme goes beyond traditional education. It’s designed to foster personal growth, equipping students with the skills to face challenges with strength and confidence. Puatala works alongside Tangaroa College to guide students in building soft skills such as communication, emotional intelligence, and problem-solving. These skills are critical not only for success in the classroom but for the journey into further education, the workforce, and beyond.

The programme focuses on holistic development, ensuring that students feel supported, capable, and ready to take on whatever comes their way. It’s a space where students are encouraged to grow, explore their potential, and learn to believe in their ability to succeed.

The Real Win: Belief in Yourself

For Puatala, the most rewarding aspect of working with students is watching them gain the confidence to believe in their own potential. It’s not just about academic success — it’s about developing a mindset that says, “I can do this.” The future isn’t something that happens to them — it’s something they can create. The Incomparable Gateway Programme helps students build this mindset through practical experiences and guidance from mentors who understand the value of persistence, resilience, and self-belief.

Puatala is proud to support Tangaroa College and looks forward to continuing to guide these students as they grow and build their futures.
