🔥 HUGE Shout-out to Tyela Wood! 🔥

We are bursting with pride for our past student, Tyela, who just won the Ministry of Social Development NZ He Poutama Taitamariki - Youth Employee/Employer of the Year Award! 🌟

In 2023, Tyela attended Hiwa-i-te-rangi, Northland College Young Parent Unit, seizing every opportunity with both hands. That dedication set her up perfectly for her cadetship with Far North District Council.

The awards judges recognized her incredible drive:

“Tyela’s progression from cadet to project manager, in a relatively short timeframe, marks her out as a future leader at Far North District Council.”

A young mother and a true trailblazer! Tyela's journey shows what's possible when you commit to your future.

Ready to start your own success story? We are taking enrolments for Hiwa-i-te-rangi next year! Don't miss out.
