Adios Alfredton, 'Ello Eketahuna! The AWDT HQ office has moved to the bright lights of the Tararua District's bustling wee township.
“From little acorns mighty oaks grow”- this is the motto of Alfredton School. The school has been part of the journey of nurturing the little acorn that was the AWDT providing office space for us for the last 14 months. .Part of the success of the AWDT has been the culture of an embracing community who have been like a mighty oak to us in the last 8 years. A huge thank you to David Nelson who harboured first one staff member then two then three before he gracious emptied a farm house for us to spread our wings. We are grateful for the support of the Alfredton district and look forward to growing new roots in Eketahuna..
