Over the past few months we have had many visitors observing our GTT programme. Groups of staff and specialists from other GTT schools new to the programme have come along to see how we run our sessions and see the children in action. In mid August we hosted the UAE's Minister for Food Security, Her Excellency Mariam bint Mohammed Saeed Hareb Al Mehairi at the request of the NZ Trade and Enterprise.
