Healthy Active Learning

Strengthening tamariki wellbeing through healthy eating, drinking and quality physical activity

Healthy Active Learning in Action

We are partnering with Sport New Zealand, the Ministry of Education and Te Whatu Ora to improve the wellbeing of children and young people, through healthy eating and drinking and quality physical activity.

​​​​​​​

We provide tailored support for 31 schools across Taranaki to achieve the following outcomes:

 *Education settings that value and prioritise quality play, active   recreation, sport, and health and physical education.

 *Education settings that support and promote quality food and drink environments.

 *Education settings that value mātauranga Māori and promote culturally distinctive approaches to play, active recreation, sport, kai, inu, and curriculum delivery.

 *Teachers and kaiako who implement active teaching and learning approaches to deliver quality health and physical education. 

 *Education settings that work effectively with whānau and their local community to enable inclusive and equitable access to play, active recreation, sport, and quality food and drink.
