| Institution description: |
We provide young people with the edge on a future with promise and potential and we equip young people with skills that stand out in on applications to universities and in the eyes of potential employers. We know that competencies such as an understanding of EQ skills, time, stress and conflict management, leadership, and now more recently ”followership”, team work and collaborative problem solving and creativity will become increasingly important in a global economy.
Coupled with an acute personal, environmental and social awareness, young graduates have to be carefully prepared to enter the job market with skills and competencies not always fully provided by even the best schools. To address this we have designed a range of programs that enhance and enrich existing areas of personal development and produce ‘stand out global citizens’ complimenting modern parenting needs - We are passionate about equipping young men and with the skills and life experiences they need to succeed at university, in a career and in life and create the environment for personal and professional growth. After the successful year on the Warriors program participants may apply for the Warriors Outdoor Pursuits Specialist Program This is a selected portfolio of outdoor pursuit skills designed to fully equip a graduate with the required outdoor and personal competencies expected from a demanding and rapidly growing industry. Some of the pursuits we will be covering are River Guide, Hi and low ropes, advance mountain leader, 1st Aid level 3, Naui ITC, event management, abseiling. The Warriors program is distilled into 5 pillars which are integrated and delivered in 4 modules of seven weeks each. Each module has a flagship adventure activity complimented with a rich a varied assortment of diverse activities. These are available over different time periods during the year to cater for increasing requests from schools, youth institutions and parents. Each is conveniently showcased on this website. Our flagship program is our four 7-week Seasonal Quests: Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring. (See the web site for details on each quest) Although we recommend a full year participation, each quest with its unique features, make it possible for a student to join in at any time of the year and participate in a range of experiences that are designed around 5 pillars: • Core Skills (EQ fitness) – strengthening the inner being • Epic Skills - driving resilience and character growth through adventure • Self Skills – Part 1 How to develop and present a digital presence to the real world Part 2 an introduction to the entrepreneurial world. • We Skills – Embracing the gift of giving – extensive community service • Eco Skills – Engagement with the natural world: conservation and wildlife appreciation. The Warriors Seasonal Quest Programs are designed for young adults who are looking for real direction, change and purpose. The foundation of the Programs is to support the transition of entering adulthood. Being completely different from the typical well-worn commercial gap-years, Warriors has had great results and success for over a decade. Past Parents and Warriors become one big family, and all their references about their amazing experiences speak for themselves. |
