Back-to-back TOM National Champions! Now off to represent Aotearoa at the TOM International Finals. Help us get there — every dollar counts!
Papatoetoe, Auckland
We’ve done it again! After winning the New Zealand Tournament of Minds (TOM) Nationals for the second year in a row, our South Auckland team has earned the incredible honour of representing Aotearoa at the TOM International Championships in Sydney this October.
TOM is all about creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and innovation. Our team has proven that with determination and imagination, South Auckland students can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best in the world. Now we have the chance to showcase our talent on the international stage!
But we need your help to get there.
Travel, accommodation, and registration costs for an international competition are huge, and without support this opportunity may slip away.
Every donation brings us closer to standing proudly for New Zealand in Sydney.
By contributing, you’re not just funding a trip — you’re backing future leaders and showing that South Auckland’s creativity belongs on the world stage.
We’re proud of our back-to-back national wins, and with your support, we’ll carry that pride all the way to Sydney.
Thank you for believing in us and helping us make history. ❤️

We are off on Thursday *fingers crossed 26 October 2025
We are in the process of counting our pennies and nickels and hope that we have made it. I think we just might break even if all your help.
We'll keep you updated.
