Kia ora e te whānau,

Here's an awesome opportunity to have your voice included into what the future direction is for education in the Buller! Whether you have tamariki in Early Childhood Education, Primary or Secondary school... you are in invited!

We highly encourage anyone who can make it to come along these hui/meetings (you can attend any or all of these) so the Kahui Ako can gather a rich perspective of what's important for you and your child's future.

Your ideas will then be collated alongside those of the teachers, staff and older students of our community (Year 4 - 13) to create a strategic direction for us to work towards collectivly across all schools and Early Childhood Education in the Buller.

What an exciting opportunity!
