Hākinakina & Akomanga Hauora

Auckland Central Life Education Trust will be visiting St Thomas School during Week 6-9 of Term Two. All students will receive 2x visits to the Life Education Caravan and follow up activities that can be done at home and school. 

Life Education is a charitable trust that delivers a health programme to children in preschool, primary and intermediate schools. They are a resource for schools that fits in closely with the Health and Physical Education Curriculum, the dimensions of Hauora or wellbeing underpin our philosophy. Their mission is to help give the young people of New Zealand, through positive health-based education the knowledge and skills to raise their awareness to live a fulfilling and healthy life. 

The programme utilises an Inquiry approach, spring boarding from “Big Questions”, to ensure personalisation of learning experiences is achieved. The Year 5 children will be focussing on ‘what is the importance of kindness?’ and ‘why is it important to show empathy to others?’
