Nobody panic, but the Huntly College Stars just abseiled, zipped down a massive zipline AND did archery in one day. ๐
Challenges? Conquered. Fears? Left at the top of the cliff.
"I can't" turned into "Can I go again?!" Big aroha to for the manaaki and the memories.

Shoutout to the amazing team at ๐๐โจ
Honestly, where would we even be without these legends in our corner?! Our kaimahi get to mahi every single day because of their vehicle support. Our events? Thriving. Our awards? Gleaming. All because Winger shows up and shows OUT. ๐
Whether it's keeping our team on the road, backing our kaupapa, or making our events ones to remember โ Winger brings the manaaki every single time.
You're more than a sponsor โ you're whanau. ๐
Another year of Career Nav down!
We welcomed Huntly College and rangatahi found potential career paths.
100% of tauira at Ngฤruawฤhia High school became a prefect.
Few mana rangatahi from Fairfield College were convinced school wasnโt for them, but pursued further study anyway.
Shout out to Career Navigator mentors for providing the support rangatahi need to find themselves professionally.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
