Useful Resources


...for parents & caregivers:

Online courses through Potential to Performance
We are super excited to announce our affiliation with Potential to Performance, enabling Taranaki educators and families easy access to over 25 online modules with new modules and content added every month. 
There is an amazing variety of topics and content available that you can access at a time and place that works best for you.

The Head Office will receive a portion of the subscription fee and will donate these back to our scholarship fund - enabling students to access The Head Office programme where finances would be a barrier. 

You can find out more about the courses and content via this link:
