President’s message

Kia ora koutou

It’s hard to believe that the sixth month of 2021 is upon us already!

June 21st – 26th is National Volunteer Week – a perfect opportunity to acknowledge the volunteers who make a difference in our work and personal lives. 

Every day we are reminded of the generosity and selfless contributions of the volunteers around us. Wherever you look, our communities are enriched by volunteers, their immense value, passion and generosity of spirit.

We’d love to hear about the special people who make your institution’s National Volunteer Week stories so worthy of being told.

Why not drop an email to a couple of fellow Educate Plus NZ members and suggest a catch up during National Volunteer Week? Give yourselves a coffee break – you sure deserve it!

Our very sincere thanks to the following member institutions who have hosted, or offered to host networking events this year: University of Otago, Auckland Diocesan School for Girls, Palmerston North Boys’ High School, St Peter’s School Cambridge, John McGlashan College, Queen Margaret College and Lincoln College… you are all amazing!

Keep an eye out for the Educate Plus NZ networking event near you over the next two months, and for those of you contemplating heading over to the Educate Plus International Conference in Adelaide in September, keep an eye on your Inbox or head to the website for event information.
