Navigating New Shores:
Supporting New-to-NZ Teachers to Thrive

Together, We Build a Richer Learning Landscape!

Our programme equips them with essential knowledge of Te Whāriki, compliance, and cultural competence, helping them integrate quickly and confidently into your centre.
Led by skilled facilitators with international experience, we’ll build an understanding of language, culture and identity.

With the right support, you can focus on navigating this transformative journey.
