Kia ora,
I am delighted to welcome you to the information and registration page for MANZ Conference 2024.
Our theme is: Educate, Advocate, Ako mai, Tautoko mai
There is something for everyone!
This conference is open to all Montessorians / non-Montessorians, kaiako, trust members, principals, parents and whānau, to help tamariki and rangatahi develop the skills needed to assist them on their journey to adulthood.
MANZ looks forward to you joining us again at the Waipuna Hotel & Conference Venue in Mt Wellington, Auckland for an invigorating and fulfilling weekend.
