BOOKINGS NOW OPEN

Nau mai, Haere mai

Our theme this year is Leadership and Hauora.

Date: 19-21 September.

We are planning a great few days of networking, hauora, learning and connecting. The subsidised cost includes guest speakers, two nights accommodation, two breakfasts, two dinners, two lunches and some refreshments.

There will be two accommodation options as there has been a change of ownership of the Hanmer Springs Hotel. You will have the option to choose a hotel room, or a space in a shared villa.

All the hotel rooms have been booked for us, and the hotel owners have leased some of the now privately owned and managed villas on our behalf. The villas will be on a “first in, first catered for” booking as they are limited. All occupiers of the villa must register also, in order to secure the villa. If you choose to use your own accommodation, there is no reduction in price as this is a heavily subsidised event.

As always, Hanmer Springs Thermal resort and Hurunui Tourism are great supporters of this very important date in the CPPA calendar. They will be providing Hanmer Springs Thermal pools passes, Hanmer Springs Golf club passes, and discounted Hanmer Springs Spa sessions.

Registrations once open, will be taken up to and including 1 August.

Check out our programme below to see what’s planned!

Exceptional Speakers, exciting programme, and of course well deserved rest and relaxation away from school just before it all ramps up towards the end of the year.
