In a unique departure from our usual classroom settings, BLAKE recently brought NZ-VR to Metlifecare Villages across Tamaki Makaurau, introducing residents and visitors to the same virtual reality program that has captivated over 107,000 New Zealand students and teachers since 2019.
And they loved it! Check out how it went ☺️

Kicking off 2025 BLAKE Explorers with a Kiwi sighting in broad daylight!!

Sylvia Park School tamariki (and BLAKE staff!) were super excited during last week's Tāwharanui Ecology Walk to see Aotearoa’s iconic bird hunting for post-rain treats.
The walk is part of a 3-day programme which includes snorkelling, surfing, and team building, aimed at connecting students to their natural surrounds and creating a sense of excitement and passion for the environment.

Grateful for backing from Chapman Tripp and our BLAKE supporters to enable these experiences for our rangatahi, with over 500 students having experienced the programme since its inception in 2020. 🥽😎🍃
