The Waipaoa Farm Cadet Training Trust runs a two year Agricultural Training Programme on Waipaoa Station, a commercial sheep and beef farm 70km inland from Gisborne, with the primary objective of training our future agricultural leaders.

"The Waipaoa Farm Cadet Training Trust is a unique initiative founded on goodwill and the supreme effort of a group of visionary individuals. It's fundamental ethos is based on generosity, committment and passion in order to provide high quality training of agribusiness people.
From the owners of 'Waipaoa Stn', who have provided their property as a training ground, to the funders, who not only contributed to the initial capital cost of establishment but also who continue to fund the ongoing operational costs.
Quite simply, without this overwhelming support, the WFCTT would not exist.
For that we, the Trust and the cadets, are hugely appreciative and indebted."
