Some very exciting things are afoot in our building!

We’re growing into a beautiful creative and wellbeing hub, and we’re thrilled to share what’s happening inside our space:

Counselling Services
We now have a wonderful counsellor, Seb Cab, working from the building and supporting our community.

Kinesiology (PKP)
We also welcome our new kinesiologist, trained in the States and now calling Tauranga home. She brings a powerful healing modality to our space.

Screen Acting Studio
Our BOPAS screen acting programmes continue to thrive here — with more classes, workshops, and filmmaking opportunities than ever.

New Café Coming Soon
Our front space will soon transform into a fresh, creative café — a perfect spot for connection, collaboration, and good food.

Introducing: The Green Room
We’re opening our very own boutique op-shop and merch store, The Green Room, featuring curated finds, creative pieces, and BOPAS merch.

Opening Party – 2026

We’re planning a special opening celebration next year!
