We now provide sports development programmes for rugby, rugby league, netball and brazillian ju jitsu in Rotorua, North Harbour and Wellington to 80 Maori and Pacific young men and women, as well as international rugby players and teams from around the world. Their education programme includes gaining a certificate in sports leadership level 4 and the outcomes for our boys over the last 15 years h
ave been further tertiary education, gaining employment through trade training and rugby and rugby league contracts. We involve our rangatahi in the community to show them the importance of being role models themselves. Our students are involved yearly with events such as primary school coaching for BOPRL, rugby tournaments, BOPRFU school rippa tag rugby and are rugby referees at the national AIMS tournament. An important part of their development is exposing them to mentors as they guide them on how to be leaders and lead successful lives by sharing their own experiences and knowledge. With their guidance, they will learn how to take responsibility for their lives and actions and will learn how to identify, set and achieve goals.
