photos. You MUST bring this on a USB stick as there is no internet at the camp. A Computer and Projector will be provided for you to use.

Star funding is able to be used for the entire cost of the course including accommodation and transport as students will be assessed against a unit standard as part of the course.

Adults accompanying students may bring along family members. There will be a charge for accommodation and food but it will be reasonable. Wainui is a great place for a holiday.

Schools may send three students initially but if there are beds available more students could be accommodated. Please contact Brendon Ferguson if you have more than 3 fantastic students. Please note students can only attend the Leadership once in their schooling and must be enrolled in a financial Area School at the time of the course.

All beds are allocated on a first in first served basis. There is no accommodation cost for teachers. If you are sending more than three students please consider sending a staff member as well.
