Piloted in 2021, the Regional Leadership Programme (RLP) is a new yet quickly growing stream of SADD leadership. Regional Leaders work primarily on innovative group and individual projects that benefit Kaitiaki o Ara/SADD groups at a regional level. This includes designing solutions to improve school/community group collaboration and communication, improving tools available to support SADD school leaders and creating tailored resources to contribute to the success of the programme at regional level.

Our Regional Leadership Programme has taken a break in 2025/2026 with no student cohort for this year.
