school is across the water
Wakapoa is a rural Indigenous community made up of 17 small islands and a central mainland. The only secondary school is on the mainland, requiring students (grades 7–12) to travel by boat. While transportation for grades 1–6 is covered, secondary students receive only a partial subsidy — leaving many families unable to afford the remaining boat fare.
It costs approximately $27/month to cover a child’s subsidized boat fare and $34/year for essential school supplies.
