The Festival of Adult Learning is held during the first week of September every year across the country.
And here in the Tararua District we showcase what Adult Learning opportunities are available in our district for those interested in learning and celebrate those who have completed learning or who provide it.

There are nominees for Outstanding Adult Learner and Exceptional Educator. The awards ceremony is always a special moment in the week. It allows Manawarangi to take the time to acknowledge the time, energy and drive that those embarking adult learning undertake and to thank tutors who have made a difference to someone’s life.
