Explicit literacy turns into lasting achievement.

When students learn core skills, they think independently and creatively about the world. We support teachers with clear ways to teach it, model it, practice it, and apply it.

The first five years of a child’s life are critical for brain development.

Eastbay REAP provides parent-inclusive workshops to build habits around physical activity, social interaction, and communication skills, all part of supporting positive growth for our tamariki.

Youth Week 2026: “Our Voices Matter! We Deserve to Be Heard | Taringa whakarongo! Ki te reo o ngā taiohi.”

This Youth Week, the Eastbay REAP Attendance Service team took time to listen to rangatahi and ask the hard questions:

🎯 Why go to kura?
❤️ What is your favourite subject?
🌱 Why is kura important to you?

Every rangatahi has a voice, and every voice matters. By sharing their whakaaro, young people help shape learning environments where they feel seen, valued, and connected.

A huge thank you to our partners for supporting this kaupapa:
🤝 KŌ Kollective Trust
🤝 Ōpōtiki Netball

“I use all my new skills in my life.
I want to come back next term and learn more.
Eventually go to UNI and change my life for the better. I don’t know what I’ll study yet, but I want to be someone I’m proud of.”
