It's true - without our sponsors the IBO would not be where it is today. If you would like to become a sponsor of the NZIBO please contact Susan Adams.

NZIBO is proudly sponsored by (in alphabetical order):

AWC

It is through teachers that students get to know about NZIBO and without the support of teachers we would not have the strong representation at the IBO that we do.
