Ten years in Wānaka
From day one, we've had a clear vision for WanaExcel. We've set high standards, challenged traditional thinking and never stopped looking for ways to do better for our tamariki and their whānau.
Having a vision is one thing. Bringing it to life every single day is something entirely different.
That's where our people come in. Our teachers, leaders and the team behind the scenes bring patience, energy and genuine commitment to everything they do. And for ten years, our families have walked alongside us, trusting us with their tamariki, sharing their ideas and helping shape the community WanaExcel is today.
Now the Education Review Office (ERO) has rated both our centres "Excelling" in all four domains, the highest result possible. We've always aimed for WanaExcel to be the very best it can be, and this result is proof that ambition, investing in our people and a determination to keep improving really does pay off.
Exceptional results take exceptional people. As a family, we couldn't be prouder of the team and families who make WanaExcel what it is.
