Pacific Churches
BEST acknowledges the role our Churches play in the lives of our Pacific students and communities; therefore we have established valuable partnerships that help promote education.
BEST works with Churches and youth groups from around Auckland. We visit their Sunday services and youth meetings to share information about the value of education and the opportunities our programmes can provide both young and mature. Because we understand Pacific culture and family, we are able to connect and share with parents and the congregation.
