Welcome to Central Otago REAP (Rural Education Activities Programme)!
We are a Ministry of Education (Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga) and Tertiary Education Commission (Te Amorangi Mātauranga Matua) funded organisation that facilitates educational opportunities that aim to empower and enrich the lives of the people in Central Otago.
Operating across the full spectrum of our community, Central Otago REAP supports tamariki (childhood), rangatahi (youth), and pakeke (adults) in their lifelong learning journeys. As a not-for-profit organisation, we are dedicated to meeting the diverse educational needs of our region through strong partnerships and performance outcomes guided by the MOE and TEC.
Our kaupapa embraces lifelong learning as a taonga (treasure), offering a diverse range of resources and opportunities for both formal and informal education. Central Otago REAP is here to support whānau, hapori (communities), and individuals to grow, connect, and thrive.
A welcoming, community garden programme where we share knowledge, build wellbeing and connect through the seasons.
