Wairoa College | Future Generations Tour Day 12

DAY 12 // 10,008 Students — Future Generations Tour 2026 @wairoacollegehighschool The final stop. And the same place we finished last year. There’s something special about coming back here to close it out. The last 12 days, Today we ticked over 10,000 rangatahi spoken with over 10 school days. WE ACHIEVED OUR GOAL! How goood and on top of that we’ve reached over 1.2 million people across social media and the numbers continue to climb. What stands out the most isn’t just the numbers — it’s the connections, the people, the communities. Across every school, every community, every kōrero — you see it. Different generations learning from each other. Stories being shared. People showing up, being real and backing one another. And here in Wairoa we felt it rolling into our finish line of a huge campaign and tour. Community is everything. We had the chance to chat with Joshua Hurae, Head Boy of 2013, who shared what it meant growing up here and being part of this place while visiting @hastingsboyshighschoolnz And you could feel it in his words. This is a place built on people. On connection. On looking out for one another. No matter what walk of life your from. A place where that ripple doesn’t just start — it lives on. As this year’s tour comes to an end, there’s a real sense of gratitude. For the people. For the stories. For the moments we’ve been lucky enough to be part of. This is the end of the tour… but the continuation of the positive ripples we are working day in day out to create. The power is in community. We appreciate you all for following along. Spark that chat. 🤝 @asbbank x @spark_that_chat x @youthlinenz x @msft_productions We’re also selling merch online if you’re keen to represent proudly (as seen by the crew repping). All proceeds go back into supporting the mahi — helping save lives and equipping young people with the tools to thrive. The journey’s not over yet — but we’re starting to feel just how far this ripple has reached. 🎥 @gordyduff_ #SparkThatChat #FutureGenerationsTour #YouthMentalHealth #SpreadingTheFroth #MentalHealth
