Big changes at GVRC for the start of 2025.

We have a new manager in Tom Anderson and finally found a new office location after the imminent closure of our previous location at Cobham School was announced at the end of 2024. After eight weeks of homelessness, we are now based in EIT Riverdale. This has contributed greatly to our ability to provide for our students and create a collaborative and cohesive team environment for the three of us. We have had wonderful support from BLENNZ and our Gisborne community to make this happen. 

We're excited to support our tamariki, whanau and kura as we look forward to Term 2 and beyond.
