Wow !
Interest is surely mounting. What a busy day today.

Here are the answers to some general queries ...
We are based in Auckland but that doesn't mean we are restricted to the Auckland area. We can come to you if your school is in another part of New Zealand but would need to add travel, accommodation and food costs + GST for three tutors. Happy to quote a price. As we are a not for profit trust then our charges are cost recovery only.

The school is charged for the costs and it is up to the school to decide how they will recover them. Some schools charge the students and some subsidise. Cost recovery is over to the school. We invoice the school for the agreed upon amount plus GST.

If the school is outside the Auckland area then it is possible to have an after school teacher professional development workshop or evening parent presentation during the three day seminar at a time that suits the school, provided free of charge. The school can then recover some of the costs of hosting the seminars by charging for this.

New workshops

We are delighted to announce that we are now able to add ENTER THE FORUM to our workshop base. This is an important opportunity for students to become involved in high level philosophical debate. We are grateful to Vanya Kovach and her department at Auckland University for the help and support she has given us with regard to locating a team of terrific tutors!

Out of Auckland

There are a growing number of enquiries regarding University on Wheels visiting schools outside Auckland. You can be sure we are currently exploring how we can manage this.
