This is The Detail's Long Read - one in-depth story read by us every weekend.
This week, it's The School Away From School written by Bill Morris and published in New Zealand Geographic's January/February 2023 issue.
You can find the entire article, with photos from Lottie Hedley, on the New Zealand Geographic website.
