We’ve been on the road! Recently we’ve been travelling across the motu, attending conferences where we’ve been able to touch base with kaiako from all over Aotearoa. Our first stop was the Interface Xpo – hosted in Dunedin, Christchurch, Cambridge and Auckland. Then it was onto the Secondary Principals Association’s (SPANZ) conference in New Plymouth with our friends from Netsafe. It was great to meet and speak to everyone who dropped by our stand or attended our workshop presented by our Education and Engagement team.

We value the opportunities to connect or reconnect with friends

Hearing what’s happening in schools and kura provides valuable insights and helps inform how we can continue to support kaiako and ākonga.

“Connecting with schools is at the heart of what we do at N4L. We love the opportunities to share how we’re supporting schools and learn how we can improve the work we do. Hearing directly from school leaders, teachers, and ICTs at these events helps us to shape our products and services to better meet school needs. We also just love engaging with the communities we serve – it’s a real win, win.” – Greg Duff, N4L Head of Education and Engagement
