About Us
The Learning Lab aims to Inspire children to learn, by building on their natural curiosity, and introducing new ideas and knowledge.
Overview
Learning Lab is a privately run programme designed to provide extra challenge and inspiration for students. It allows students the chance to get together with like-minded others, to learn new things at a faster pace or in more depth. The programme is tailored for the group – where possible we build in studies and activities for individual interests. Variety and choice are offered, along with opportunity for creativity and hands-on learning.
Learning Lab runs from Whangaparaoa Primary School, Manly, NZ.
