Some of the best lessons happen outside the classroom and this morning, Te Mata Peak gave us one worth remembering.
This morning’s hikoi included a stop at the Gallipoli Pine, just off the road near the summit. There are two trees standing together, planted in 1946 and 2013, in commemoration of local soldiers who lost their lives during the Gallipoli Campaign in 1915.
A member of the public we spoke with shared that she has been part of a group that regularly lays poppies at the tree on Anzac Day.
What a special piece of local history to learn and a meaningful way to remember those who gave so much. … See MoreSee Less
Here is what Joedecy had to say about her goals coming into the Building Futures programme.
“Before starting Building Futures, I honestly just wanted to get my restricted and a job, those were my main goals. Well, I have achieved both with the help and support I got from Building Futures.”
We are absolutely thrilled to celebrate how much Joedecy has achieved since joining our programme. Aside from her licence upgrade, she achieved an OSH forklift certificate, completed Site Safe Foundation Passport, Safe Working at Heights, and First Aid training as well.
Congratulations on getting your restricted licence — enjoy the freedom of driving yourself to work! … See MoreSee Less

Learning skills that save lives! Our group got hands-on with first aid training yesterday, building confidence and practical knowledge for both the workplace and everyday life. Big thanks to Industrial Training Associates for a fantastic session and for showing us how it’s done. … See MoreSee Less

As we know, securing your restricted licence is a huge milestone. It’s more than just being allowed to drive. It is proof of hard work, focus, commitment, and responsibility. It shows you listened, learned, practised, and earned the trust to take the wheel with confidence and independence.
This is the kind of achievement that opens doors to work, sport, and everyday adventures. It means more freedom, more confidence, and one big step closer to adulthood. So, a massive congratulations to this guy. Jay, you absolutely nailed it and on the first attempt too! What an awesome achievement. Well done! … See MoreSee Less
