School of Social Entrepreneurs

In May of this year Te Hana Te Ao Marama proudly became a founding member for the School of Social Entrepreneurship (SSE) within New Zealand.The SSE enables community driven people to generate economic and social change within their own communities. As a member of the SSE, Te Hana Te Ao Marama was given the opportunity to offer two individuals a scholarship worth $18,000 each. The candidates for the scholarships were those that had a ground-breaking initiative to take their community forward and in return will be attending the SSE at the Ko Awatea Centre in Otahuhu, Auckland from March to November 2012.

Successful NZSSE scholarship applicants are:

Gateway / ATTTO

During the July school holidays Te Hana Te Ao Marama had the pleasure of hosting an educational tourism workshop (wananga) for 44 eager students from various schools throughout Northland. During their stay students were given the opportunity to learn about the Tourism industry in an interactive, cultural and fun environment. The school program was run through Gateway as well as the Aviation, Tourism and Travel Training Organisation, otherwise known as ATTTO, which offers students hands on experience and work place based learning whilst they are still at school.
