Community Learning Hub

STARTS Sunday 5th May to 16 June

6 week workshop

WIA, with support from the Ministry of Education, is proud to host the Indian Community Learning Hub.

The Hub provides opportunities for Indian parents to learn more about education and schools in New Zealand. Some of the topics we are looking at include navigating NCEA and the New Zealand Curriculum, staying safe at school, mental and physical health and wellbeing, and more.

Topics will be covered from across 6 sessions during Term 2 - May and June 2024 and will be presented by facilitators from within Indian community who work as teachers and in other educational roles. Sessions will be proactive so there will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions and talk openly with our facilitators.

Above all, this is a fantastic opportunity to find out how you can actively be involved in and support your child’s journey through the New Zealand Education System.
