Priority One Principals' Day Out

TGC —

Principal | Tumuaki Tara Kanji joined other Secondary School Principals at the annual Principals’ Day Out event organised and hosted by INSTEP Priority One.

The purpose of the event was to continue developing collaboration between our local business and education sectors. The theme for the day was ‘What if I want to learn by doing?’  Tumuaki had the opportunity to explore some of Tauranga’s local education-to-employment facilities, with the purpose of ensuring we don’t overlook some opportunities for our students to develop transferable skills as they move into the world of work.

Tumuaki were hosted at
