A 2019 study by Infometrics found that for every dollar invested in the Graeme Dingle Foundation today, a return of $7.80 will be seen in the future economy of Aotearoa.
Painting can be relaxing, and calming, a bit like an adult colouring book.

Meet Jasmine (Te Rarawa, Te Aupouri, Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Hine) who shares “Awanuiārangi offered an accessible teaching programme that meant I didn't have to move away from home in North Hokianga. I’ve grown personally and professionally through my studies making my whānau/hapū proud. I was employed by a school immediately after completing, am now focusing on my teacher registration, and planning to return to study for a Master of Indigenous Studies”
You too can help facilitate the learning journey of future leaders. Study with us in 2020 and become a teacher!

This was held at the excellent facilities in Dargaville, Kauri Coast Community Pool. The event was professionally organised and run by a dedicated group of volunteers representing Northland Swimming who ran the 3 days event.
The Bay of Islands Swimming Club had a very enjoyable stay at the Dargaville Holiday Park where everyone became one large family. Truly one fantastic experience and are all now looking forward to the event again in 2021. This was made possible by grants from Oxford Trust and Racing Industry Transition Agency.
Highlight of the weekend were:
9 years and under Relay Team for taking the gold medal.
Three very impressive personal best times and our swimming team of eighteen for the twenty two medals won over the weekend. For a full report go to The Bay of Islands Swimming Cub Facebook page.
Elijah Welling 7 years of age and stands knee high to a grasshopper, with a heart as big as an elephant swam against 8 and 9 year olds and won a gold medal in the 9 and under back stroke, a true champion in the making.
Lucas Bayer and Dayna Hawke both carrying injuries and having had restricted training over the last six weeks did their club proud by each winning a medal in their finals.
If there was a sportsmanship award then it would have to go to 9 year old Imogen Ray, who before the 9 and under relay shook her competitors by the hand. Well done Imogen
Finally, to the coach Alex Bennett well done for your guidance, advice, encouragement and support to the team over the weekend.
