Whaia te iti kahurangi ki te tuohu koe me he maunga teitei - Seek the treasure you value most dearly: If you bow your head, let it be to a lofty mountain. At BestStart Hanley’s farm we are nestled the Remarkable (Kawarau) Mountains. These mountains bring a sense of belonging, a feeling of safety, and a place to stand for us here at BestStart Hanley’s Farm.
At BestStart Hanley’s Farm we create new solutions to conquer mountains. It is important that we are seen as individuals with our own unique culture. With our diverse cultural lenses we create a safe and inclusive environment that enables us to teach and learn in innovative and exciting ways.
