I came along to the free auditioning workshop and had such a great time. And then when I walked out I bumped into one of my favourite actresses! I can't believe she's a teacher here - I'm signing up for sure - can't wait. Thank you for making it so awesome.

We love that the kids get a range of experienced tutors and learn a variety of skills in the performing arts. All the tutors are great and I've even joined the adults class myself. Great way to gain confidence and learn relevant industry skills.

Sophia is an enthusiastic, friendly and positive guitar teacher. She has really helped to keep my children interested in their learning of guitar, as well as improving their skills. She does great work in the small group that they learn in, I recommend her and the variety of styles of music that they learn.

It's Amazing

My daughter has been doing aerobics now for nearly 5 years. After trying dance and then gymnastics, neither really inspired her. She went on to try Aerobics which combines both. She was immediately hooked. The passion and drive my daughter now has with her aerobics is amazing. She just loves it. Not only has she found something she loves she has formed some amazing friendships. The coaches and director Amanda are fantastic with the girls. Highly recommend you encourage your daughter, or son, to give it a go!

Aerobics is an amazing sport that my girls love. Amanda is very dedicated to getting the best out of everyone. Her students gain fitness, strength, dance and gymnastics skills. Triple A has a skilled team of coaches and the academy is a fun and supportive environment that produces some great athletes!

My daughter loves Triple A. It's an awesome friendly and safe environment. She looks forward to her classes every week and loves her coaches.

Triple A is a very family orientated environment with lots of positive encouragement towards a wide range of age groups. They promote positive self worth and strive to help all athletes preform to their potential. They provide a clean well looked after studio which is friendly an inviting. Triple A provides a variety of experiences from competing in local and national competitions to preforming at local school galas, and other community events such as the Howick Santa parade. Triple A has a high standard of professional coaches which enables kids to gain confidence in many areas as well as focusing on strength, fitness, balance and movement to music as well as introducing the basics of gymnastics.

My daughter has been riding with Sarah at Diamond Lodge for about 6 months, and her confidence in herself and her riding are growing in leaps in bounds. It really is wonderful when your child has a really deep respect for her teacher and chosen sport. Credit to Sarah and her team, and Mars recons Sarah's are just the best!

Chess Power provide a fantastic opportunity for school children to develop their chess skills and to take part in many exciting and well-run tournaments throughout the country. Head Coach Paul Macdonald builds a strong rapport with children of all ages, motivating and encouraging each one to do their best. Chess Power offer an extensive array of certificates, trophies, medals and prizes – no one goes home from a Chess Power event empty-handed, although the prestigious awards are reserved for those who truly merit them. Girls are given extra encouragement – although just as skilled as the boys, fewer tend to compete in chess – Chess Power are working hard to correct this by encouraging meritous performance. Paul Macdonald has a strong team working with him. Even when he is not personally present, other Chess Power staff bring the same calm discipline and inspiration to their tournaments. And often tournaments include practical coaching tips, and brain-stimulating puzzles, so the children leave as better players. For interschool tournaments the Chess Power method of taking the scores of the best four kids on the day is much easier and fairer then schools making up their own ranked teams - no allegations of abuse by mis-rankings of the team (deliberate or otherwise) - all players have an incentive to do their best and a silly mistake by your top player means another player can step up and take their place. The website at www.chesspower.co.nz contains detailed results on each tournament – very useful when trying to identify challenging opponents and weaknesses that need work. And helpful for ranking players when required for other school chess tournaments. Paul and his team at Chess Power have a passion for chess and for children to play chess. I am very grateful that they give so many children so many opportunities to play at well run tournaments. Being able to play often, and competitively, is very important for improving play. Chess Power are a powerful force for children's chess in New Zealand. If you want your kids to succeed at chess, send them to a Chess Power event. Thank you Paul, and your team. Long may you continue growing kids minds!

Joseph Teofilo from the Wairarapa, who has participated in past Chess Power National Finals and Chess Power Champions Trophy events including October this year, was awarded wairarapa Maori male Junior Sportsman of the Year and the Peoples Choice trophy for his achievements in chess both regionally and nationally. From Joseph's achievement at this regional awards evening, it has put a spotlight on chess and we're hoping this will encourage more of our young to take part! Thanks for all you do Paul, you and your team do a fantastic job, and Joseph is certainly looking forward to the 2016 tournaments!
