WELCOME TO

ĀKINA ACTIVITY CENTRE

Akina Activity Centre is one of 14 Activity Centres in New Zealand that cater for secondary school students (Years 9-13) who are at risk of disengaging from mainstream schooling and at risk of low educational, social and vocational outcomes.

Activity Centres provide a specialised learning programme that will lead to increased attendance, engagement and achievement at school, social outcomes and successful transition rates. Registered teachers support students to increase their achievement and engagement in education guided by an Individual Learning Programme (ILP) that is responsive to the needs of each student.

The ILP details the student’s learning goals and is developed in partnership with the student, teacher, parents/whānau and enrolling school. A key component of the programme for activity centre students is to successfully transition back into the enrolling school, or move on to further education or employment.

EMPOWERING DIGITAL STUDENTS

With state-of-the-art facilities and a dedicated focus on integrating technology into our curriculum, we provide students with the tools and resources they need to thrive in a digital world.

LEARN THROUGH ACTIVITIES

Sports play a vital role in our school, fostering teamwork, discipline, and a healthy lifestyle. At our school, we believe in the power of sports to develop not only physical fitness but also essential life skills such as resilience, perseverance, and leadership.

GLOBAL ​​​​​​​CITIZENS

 Friendship knows no boundaries at our school, where we foster a community that embraces diversity and cultivates global citizenship. We believe that building meaningful relationships across cultures and backgrounds is an essential part of a well-rounded education.
