A special thanks to the Greymouth Police for the fine work done in apprehending those involved in our recent break-ins.  You do a fantastic job for our community and your fine work is greatly appreciated!

For Secondary School Students

It is a great idea to make the most of the time that you have at school. Don’t leave school until you really have given it your best shot. There are fewer opportunities in life for those who leave school too early (especially without NCEA Level 2) – a lifetime of poverty could be staring you in the face.

Have you heard about the Mawhera Services Academy and the West Coast Trades Academy?  Talk with your school about these school programmes.  You might gain a Trade qualification, or prepare for the Services while you’re still at school!

Youth coaches will help young school leavers look at their strengths and their options in the Greymouth area so they get the best start into the future.

Grey Life Learning has partnered with Karoro Learning to run the service in Greymouth. They will be working closely with secondary schools in the area so that they can be there to provide help if a student is at risk of leaving school early, with options such as helping them continue with their learning alongside a pathway to training through a range of providers in the area and tapping into tertiary education opportunities such as the Youth Guarantee programme.
