Thank you to those who attended our Adult Learners Week and Dying Matters Week events. We may have had small groups – but the discussions and sharing of experiences were expansive and important.
We loved being able to open a special study space for Kaipara College’s mock exams week. We hope to do the same in future. If you know of any students who used the space, we would love feedback so we can improve our set-up.
