"As a Pasifika teacher, I particularly appreciated how Bodhi’s approach embraced and celebrated cultural diversity. The integration of Pasifika perspectives into the curriculum not only enriched my learning experience but also affirmed my cultural identity. This inclusive environment helped me feel empowered and recognised, reinforcing my commitment to culturally responsive teaching. I believe this is essential for nurturing educators who can effectively engage with and support diverse learners in our communities".

"I loved everything to do with my time at Bodhi. The level of care and support they provide is unrivaled. When the challenges of study/work/family life were overwhelming. Bodhi did all they could to help me achieve. I wasn't treated like a "paying student" but gifted and afforded understanding, compassion and human decency. I also loved that Bodhi's course content allowed me to express my values and beliefs through their assignments. I believe that as ECE kaiako, we should be allowed to interpret what we learn in our own unique ways, because we all teach in our own unique ways".

"Without the Bodhi programmes and having the help and support I needed, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Helping me find the courage and inspiration within myself to realise the impact I have on Tamariki lives, is what I wish I had known earlier. I’m 2/3 of the way there to being fully qualified. I just hope my third year is as amazing and heartwarming. To all the lovely ladies that helped me get this far already, thank you so much. I’m eternally grateful. I’m in your debt forever".

"I'm currently in the second half of my second year, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience so far. Throughout my time studying with Bodhi, I’ve received hands-on support, brilliant communication, and have always felt well-informed and cared for. Everything I’ve needed has been provided, and the team consistently goes above and beyond to ensure their students are supported and doing well.

At my graduation, the Bodhi team was incredibly welcoming, not just to me, but to all of my whānau. It truly felt like a big whānau coming together, and that sense of connection and belonging is something really special about studying with Bodhi."
