"This programme didn’t just teach me about bravery — it showed me that I’m capable of so much more than I believed. It was life changing."

Wakatipu High School Student

Courageous

“Since completing the programme, [the students] have come back to school with a very different outlook on life. They are saying: if I can do this, I can do anything. The whole bungy experience has been emotionally valuable for all involved and we thank you and your team for providing a life changing experience that our students will never forget.”

Life-changing

“What an amazing experience The Leap Within was for our Year 9 students... Thank you for the wonderful opportunity. I spoke with many of the [students], and they were buzzing whether they jumped or not. The mutual support and encouragement was noted by staff and we congratulated our students on their courageous and respectful attitude. There has been powerful learning for our students on many levels - thank you.”
