Secondary Trades Academy Programmes for 2022
We offer a variety of Trades Programmes for Secondary students that offer experiential learning outdoors on four week-long block courses delivered across two terms. They will gain necessary NCEA credits while supported by our instructors to improve essential skills needed for future study & work!
"Courses are highly relevant and well planned, with activities designed with students’ safety in mind. The professional staff and ongoing nature of reflective practices help ensure the courses meet stakeholder needs."

"With the leadership skills and self-confidence I picked up, I went on to be the head boy of my school the next year. That's the thing I love about Whenua Iti, you go there to learn about something but you always leave with so much more"
