Manurewa High School

We have run a series of programmes at Manurewa High School. Our current offerings are a weekly Waananga programme that explores life-skills and holistic well-being and the Ako programme that supports spiritual well-being.

We believe in the power of partnership. It takes a village to raise a child. As a grass-roots community youth organisation we partner with Manurewa High School to target shared objectives. We believe that rangatahi need support in all areas of well-being to thrive. Our partnership with Manurewa High School is a way we can support learners with well-being and their transition after High School.
