Kia ora koutou,
We have welcomed Level 2 and look forward to seeing students back here next week! We will be operating under Level 2 guidelines and as always, students' safety is our top priority. Some programmes have had to change slightly - communication about this will come direct from your school and we are rescheduling wherever possible.
Please get in touch if you have any concerns or questions via email - info@wio.org.nz.

"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"
