DigiAwards pānui

2023 was the 10th anniversary of DigiAwards. DigiAwards has always been an incredible celebration of learning, but unfortunately, we are not able to proceed with the awards in 2024.

We know this will be disappointing for you, but we also know that it won’t stop the amazing digital creativity that can be found in our kura and schools.

Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou

We thank you for your involvement over the past ten years in DigiAwards and we look forward to different initiatives that showcase creativity in our kura and schools.

We would welcome your suggestions for future events. Please feel free to email us at growwaitaha@gmail.com.
