Springbank School in Kerikeri was started in a garden shed back in 1996 by Bob and Sophia Warren who had a vision of offering children in Northland the highest quality learning experiences.
Since then it has grown to be one of the Far North's leading co-educational private schools with just over 200 students from Year 1 to Year 13.
Former Principal and current Director/Owner Mike Warren, son of Sophia and Bob, talks about how the school has grown to now include 17 classrooms, a gymnasium, sports turf and a 42-acre property featuring a farm and running track.
He talks more about the upcoming 30th anniversary celebrations, plans for the future and more.
