This term, BLENNZ Wellington has successfully delivered a regular weekly programme for a group of BLENNZ ākonga aged 5-10 years living in the Porirua area.

The programme aims to support the development of essential gross motor and sports skills in a structured and engaging environment. The programme has been supported by Henderson Trustees Fund.

The classes are led by Coach Mattie from GameTime, who brings enthusiasm and expertise to the programme. Under his guidance, the children actively engage in various activities designed to enhance their ball skills, balance, gross motor abilities, and overall coordination.

A significant benefit of the programme has been the formation of friendships among the participants, fostering a sense of community and social connection.
