"I have been a Police Officer for almost 30 years and worked specifically in schools with young people for the past 16 years and have never witnessed such a powerful, unforgettable experience that your staff provided. The visit to your Warriors base turned out to be the highlight of the program that I have been running this year with my group of at-risk kids. Even I, as a cynical, older Police officer, was absolutely impressed by what your program provided. Invaluable!"

"The excitement we could see and hear from our tauira and kaiako resonated across our school throughout the day. All of us at FBS look forward to our next opportunity to have Prepare to Perform back. Ngā mihi Warriors Community Foundation and NZ Warriors for making this possible for us to enjoy and be a part of."

"The Prepare to Perform programme was delivered by an energetic, enthusiastic and supportive team of coaches. From the start of our day until the final session, the wonderful wahine toa inspired our tauira through their words of encouragement and positive affirmations."

“ I teach a class of 10 - 11-year old’s, with boys who need motivation in education and literacy. This was a great motivator for them and allows them to be positively involved in a literacy -based competition with rewards that specifically mean something to them.”

“It was very well planned and delivered. The content was fantastic, and the games were very well received by the students and staff. Also, a great set of values promoted.”
