B.H.A.G.

There’s no doubt this programme is a BHAG (a.k.a. Big Hairy Audacious Goal)!    

We are living in a fast-paced world that requires new skills and thinking.  This programme is a real opportunity for us to embrace change and enable our teachers and learners to respond to the opportunities that the Twenty-first Century affords.

It will only be possible to make a step change for our learners by working together, trusting one another, asking questions, having the courage to ask questions, looking beyond our own area of direct responsibility to understand how we may contribute to the bigger picture, by being learners ourselves and most importantly always placing our learners at the heart of every decision.  

Thanks to the vision and generous philanthropy of the HB Williams Family Trusts, the governance of Connext trustees, the guidance of the Connected Kids Advisory Group and leadership of school boards and principals, participating schools are already experiencing many benefits of being a member of the Manaiakalani Outreach Programme.  

For the time, energy and commitment you are investing in our learners and/or teachers - thank you.
