About us
Operating since 2015, we’re proud to have hosted thousands of people across New Zealand through our events, workshops and partnerships with local and international schools.
We’re passionate about education and building communities, and our vision is to help nurture more connected communities by providing collaborative spaces that can facilitate different learning experiences.
We have hosted a wide range of events over the last ten years including conferences, workshops, team-building events, school camps and wellness retreats.
We also support schools in their enrichment curriculums by running leadership and cultural programmes to provide students with more opportunities to learn new skills outside of classrooms.
Our values
We want everyone to enjoy our wonderful spaces and feel welcome when they visit the Waihi Academy. We have a set of core values that guide us on how we operate and how we interact with everyone.
Ako | Learning
Life is a process of learning and we can learn a lot from others when we take the time to come together to deepen our understanding of others as well as ourselves. At Waihi Academy, we want to create a serene and supportive environment that fosters connections and learning opportunities.
Manaakitanga |
Kindness and Respect
Through manaakitanga we can build and foster good relationships with others. At Waihi Academy we believe it's important to show kindness, empathy and respect and towards all people and the natural world - starting with ourselves.
Whānau | Family
We want everyone to feel welcome and like family when they're with us. At Waihi Academy, we make sure everyone feels included and cared for and that they feel the aroha in everything we do - from the food we cook to the programmes we run.
Our community events
Our venue hosts many community events throughout the year from wellness retreats to the popular Waihi Vegetarian Festival.
Everyone is welcome so feel free to bring a friend and come along!
