Schools

BEST has fostered valuable relationships with schools that help us connect with Pacific youth and the people who support them. Through these relationships we are able to work directly with high school students, their teachers and families.

Every year, we attend workshops, fonos, parent and teacher evenings and careers expos in order to reach out to students who may need our services when they leave school.

Helping You Take the Next Step

We know not all school leavers will meet the entry criteria to attend University or other tertiary institutions, so BEST offers a very different learning environment that supports and builds confidence in Pacific people. This allows them to gain a qualification.
