This is a Health
Promoting School. A representative committee including the public
health nurse, a board member, student representative, representatives
from the Maori and Pasifika communities and a school manager meet
to plan projects which will positively affect the health of our
students (e.g. cycling safety, canteen food, sun-safe issues).

as: building self-confidence through better communication; learning
about emotions; developing good relationships with peers; strengthening
family relationships; decision making; knowing the dangers about
drugs; setting goals.
Three days a
week, students participate in regular fitness programmes at the
start of the school day. Activities include aerobics, running/power
walking, skipping and court games.
