Gifted its name by Rangitāne o Wairau, this accessible site is thoughtfully designed to support individuals with sensory and mobility needs, offering inclusive assistance for students with diverse disabilities.

The centre now brings together 30 staff members from the three organizations, creating a collaborative environment for professionals and whānau alike.

Situated at Salisbury School, the site was blessed in a dawn ceremony, and BLENNZ welcomed its new manager, Sy Baker, in Term 4 to further strengthen community connections.
