Schools Programme
Due Drop Events Centre
In 2024, the schools' and community programme enabled by the Du Drop Foundation provided 99,156 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.
Community Good value invested through Due Drop Events Centre for 2024 is $757,601
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 support and sponsorship of Vector Ltd and the John Walker Find Your Field of Dreams Foundation, we have had another successful year, with 18,385 students taking part in our school programmes 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 2024 is $603,743
