Recent news
We recently celebrated the launch of the 'My Voice, My Culture' book with students from Bohally Intermediate and Richmond View schools! Following a series of workshops organised by Selena Tonks (Education Team, REAP Marlborough) and Welcoming Communities Marlborough, students from these schools created their own piece of writing to share their culture, language, and their unique stories.
The students were guided by language mentors during a series of workshops to create a piece of writing in both their first language, as well as in English. These stoeies were then collated and turned into the 'My Voice, My Culture' book! A personal copy of the book was presented to each student and language mentor at a special multicultural school assembly.

Rural drama benefits from funds boost
We're stoked to be one of five community organisations selected by forestry company OneFortyOne to receive one of their community grants! This funding will allow us to deliver drama workshops in six rural Marlborough communities so that students can learn new skills in a positive way and build resilience.
