health promoting school
 

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).

Skills for Adolescence lessons are included in the Health curriculum. It covers such topics 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.
