Our success stories
This year, five of our Tauira proudly graduated from Roberts Education Alternative Education, stepping into 2026 with courage and purpose. Some will return to continue their Herenga in Hospitality Levels 1 and now 2, and we couldn’t be prouder. This year has stretched us, grown us, tested us. But through every low, the highs shone brighter.
