We got new trees in the ground despite the rainy conditions and it was a great morning with the community.
Since launching my Million Trees programme in June, we have planted nearly 140,000 trees across Auckland - that's more than 1,400 a day!
Thanks to the Te Whau Pathway Trust, the Whau River Catchment Trust and the Whau and Henderson-Massey Local Boards for all their hard work.

"We have undertaken a renewal program in all four of our established locations - Kelston, Papakura, Onehunga, and now Mangere. This is by far the biggest expansion with over 7000 m² of floor space added and the renewal of our existing premises” said Managing Director Farzbod Taefi. “Our building renewal program is a statement of optimism and investment in this community and it reflects our confidence in all of our present and future students.”
Some of the courses offered at Skills Update include: Automotive Engineering, Computer and Technology Skills, Transport and Logistics, Carpentry, Hospitality, Business Administration, Electrical Engineering, Metal Fabrication, Retail, Care for the Elderly, Pre-Forces Training, and Security.
The photo proudly shows our hospitality students catering for the opening celebrations. The hospitality industry is one of the fastest growing industries for job opportunities.
The increase in job advertisements over the past three months has been driven by strong growth in tourism numbers, from both domestic and foreign visitors.
Come and talk to us about how to get started in this dynamic and growing industry.
