Fueling Future Champions: Inbox Design is Proud to Support the 2026 Zespri AIMS Games!
At Inbox Design, we are passionate about two things: innovative technology and supporting the success of New Zealand schools. That’s why we are thrilled to announce that we are officially sponsoring and attending the 2026 Zespri AIMS Games!
As a Tauranga-based company, there is nothing quite like the energy that this event brings to our home turf. We can’t wait to be part of the action, supporting the incredible athletes, coaches, and school communities that make this event the pinnacle of intermediate-aged sport.
What are the Zespri AIMS Games?
For those who haven’t experienced it, the Zespri AIMS Games is an international sporting championship for Year 7 and 8 students. It is a week-long celebration of diversity, sportsmanship, and personal bests.
The 2026 Details:
Dates: Saturday 5th – Friday 11th September 2026
Location: Tauranga, New Zealand
Papamoa and Mt Maunganui
The Inbox Design team won't just be sponsors from afar—we’ll be on the ground throughout the week. We’re looking forward to catching up with the many schools we already partner with and meeting new faces from across the motu. Whether you’re a sports coordinator, a principal, or a parent, come say hello to the team!
We've got 30+ Features that work with Intermediate age Schools
We've been working with schools for 20 years and have built many great features for all schools sizes and ages students. You can explore our features on our website such as our SchoolSite websites, SchoolBridge and SchoolPoint.
Empowering Schools Beyond the Finish Line
While the athletes are focused on the field, we’re focused on making sure everything behind the scenes runs smoothly for their schools. Our suite of tools is designed to reduce the administrative burden on staff and improve communication with whānau.
If you’re looking to streamline your school’s operations for the next sporting season, we’re here to help with:
SchoolBridge: Our core platform that connects your school community.
SchoolBridge App: Smart, mobile-first communication for parents, students, and staff.
SchoolSite Websites: Beautiful, functional websites tailored specifically for New Zealand schools.
Permission Slips: Say goodbye to lost paper; manage EOTC and event consent digitally.
Absence Reporting: Fast, secure, and authenticated reporting for parents.
Parent-Teacher Conferences: Easy online booking and management for school interviews.
Why Supporting Local Matters to Us
Inbox Design isn’t just a service provider; we are part of the Tauranga community. Our office is based right here in the Bay, and many of our team members live, work, and raise their families in this beautiful region.
Supporting the Zespri AIMS Games is a "home game" for us. We see firsthand the incredible vibrancy this event brings to our city—from the buzzing waterfront to the packed sidelines at Blake Park. By sponsoring the Games, we aren’t just backing a tournament; we’re investing in our own backyard, supporting the local economy, and celebrating the spirit of the Bay of Plenty.
Serving Schools from Cape Reinga to Bluff
While our hearts (and our headquarters) are in Tauranga, our mission is national. We are proud to partner with over 200 schools across New Zealand, providing the digital infrastructure that keeps their communities connected.
Distance is never a barrier. Whether your school is a rural primary in the South Island or a large urban college in Auckland, we work closely with you to ensure our tools fit your unique needs. We understand the specific challenges NZ schools face—from Ministry requirements to the need for bilingual communication—and we’ve built our software to solve them.
100% Kiwi Owned & Operated: When you call us, you’re talking to a team that understands the NZ education landscape inside and out.
Remote-First Support: We provide training and support to schools in every corner of the country via video, phone, and our comprehensive help portal.
Built for the "Kiwi Way": Our tools, like SchoolBridge and SchoolSite, are designed specifically for the way New Zealand schools operate, integrating seamlessly with local systems like KAMAR, eTAP, Musac, Helix, Hero and FATCS Student Management Systems.
Are you heading to the Games from out of town, or are you a fellow Tauranga local looking to level up your school's digital communication before the next big event?
