Kia ora koutou,
We are offering FREE PLACES on a range of leadership programmes for 16-18yr olds this summer to help provide positive education & wellbeing outcomes following a disruptive few months. We hope to see lots of students take up this generous opportunity thanks to our partners & funders.
We will be operating under Level 2 guidelines and as always, students' safety is our top priority.
Please get in touch if you have any concerns or questions via email - info@wio.org.nz.
FREE places on Summer Programmes for local students
We have designed leadership programmes for November & December that will offer 16-18yr olds the chance to build their adventure skills, connect to nature, get a boost of L2 or L3 credits & meet new friends in a supportive & fun setting while experiencing the outdoors. And all fully funded!
Enrol Now on 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!

"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"
