We've just heard about a new online charter school that will be set up from 2026 for Years 9-12 (and Year 13 in 2027). Check out their website if you think it might be a good fit for your young person.

ADHD New Zealand is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori with our favourite te reo word - "aroreretini".

Coined by Māori educator and linguist Keri Opai as a non-judgemental way of describing ADHD, it translates to "attention goes to many things".

We love this empowering term, which embraces the curiosity, creativity and strength that comes from having attention that is drawn to many places.

Hello all
This Saturday we have our Parent Question and Answer event.
Its a FREE event, no papers to sign, we just wanted people to RSVP so we could get an idea of numbers for catering purposes.
It's aimed at parents of children of all ages, including adult-children :-)
We have a panel of Autistic individuals who will answer your questions as to what it's like being Autistic, and any other questions you might have. The evening will be in two parts; Part 1 is a panel with questions from the audience, Part 2 is when we break out into smaller groups to chat.
Doors open at 6:15pm, we start at 6:45pm, doors close at 9pm.
We hope to see you there!!
:-)
