Sandfield was approached by Kedgley Intermediate’s new Principal, Pelu Leaupepetele, to help with a website refresh for the school to better engage its community. Kedgley Intermediate is a suburban school for year 7 and 8 pupils in South Auckland. Just over 51 percent of the approximate 700 students who attend have Pasifika heritage. Many students are bilingual and new learners of English. Māori learners make up 19 percent of the school roll.

One in five New Zealand school children go to school hungry, some without breakfast or lunch and it’s hard to concentrate on an empty stomach. Numerous studies conducted in both New Zealand and overseas have demonstrated a link between nutrition and learning, showing the beneficial effects of restoring nutrition to the appropriate level. Sandfield supports Amigo Nutrition through the development, support, and hosting of their website.

School Start First Impressions believe that children who are set up with all the necessary learning tools to start school are much more likely to embrace learning.

Through our association with Books in Homes, we have been inspired by the exceptional education occurring at Wymondley Rd Primary School, a decile one school in South Auckland. To support headmaster Tone Kolose and his team, Sandfield partnered with Mainfreight to assist the school in acquiring an Activeboard for each classroom. Sandfield also supports Wymondley Road Primary School through the development, support, and hosting of their website.

The Books in Homes Programme was inspired by Alan Duff who, with the help of Christine Fernyhough, developed the idea after realising that failures in adult life often stem from childhoods spent in bookless homes. Since 1997, Sandfield has developed and supported the system that Books in Homes use to manage their day-to-day business operations such as the management of sponsors, schools and events. Sandfield supports BIH through the development, support, and hosting of their website.
