Auckland North Visual Resource Centre moved into its permanent location at Scott Point School, Hobsonville in June. The purpose-built centre has a large open plan office for the Resource Teachers Vision, three BLENNZ satellite classrooms, whanau and meeting rooms. 

Learning spaces at Scott Point School are named after the Stars of Matariki. Our centre is Kāinga Waipunarangi.  Waipunarangi supports us, provides for us and sustains us. It encourages us to be empathetic and inclusive of the world around us.  

Officially opened by the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern on July 29th, the school and the BLENNZ Centre serve the growing Scott Point community and BLENNZ ākonga based in the Auckland North area.
