Schools Programme

Due Drop Events Centre 

​

In 2023, the schools' and community programme enabled by the Du Drop Foundation provided 91,546 children and youth access to subsidised or fully sponsored creative arts events.

 

We were able to collaborate with the Royal New Zealand Ballet, Tim Bray Theatre Company, Pacifica Arts Centre, Nightsong, National Youth Theatre, Atamira Dance Company, Māori Myths by the Sandman and various schools with their Dance Concerts providing students with a wide variety of experiences.

 

The Trust with the support of Due Drop Foundation was able to support schools and community events by assisting with artists' fees, venue hire, labour, and AV technical costs.

 

Along with our ongoing programme partners we are delighted to extend our schools programme to Duffy Books In Homes' already varied and successful, with our 2023 line up. We are excited to be building upon our schools' programme and believe these opportunities will enrich lives.


Community Good value invested through Due Drop Events Centre for 2023 is $717,225.74

Vector Wero Whitewater Park 

​

Vector Wero Whitewater Park enjoys a long-standing commitment to providing the largest schools and community programme for whitewater experience in the world.

 

With the naming rights sponsorship and support from Vector Ltd we had record-breaking year, with 20,345 students participating in our schools' programme and gaining vital water safety skills for life.

 

Fully sponsoring or subsidising our programmes for children and youth takes away the cost barrier enabling all to learn survival skills in moving water. Activities such as river crossing, river safety, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, and rafting are all popular school activities but most importantly they teach vital survival schools while giving students a fantastic and memorable experience. 
 

Community Good value invested through Vector Wero for 2023 is $897,505.75
