HEALTHY ACTIVE LEARNING 

Healthy Active Learning is focused on providing tamariki with quality physical experiences and supporting schools in delivering healthy food and water only policies. It’s based on a successful pilot programme and in 2020 it was rolled out to 300 schools nationwide. In 2022 the initiative will be expanded to 800 schools.  

The initiative began in January 2020, and has three components to drive better education and health outcomes for young New Zealanders: 

  • New Health and Physical Education and Hauora curriculum resources (Ministry of Education) 
  • Toolkits and a health promotion workforce to support the adoption and implementation of healthy food and water-only policies (Ministry of Health) 
  • A physical activity workforce (Sport NZ) ​​​​​​​

The Healthy Active Learning workforce will help create active school environments by working alongside school leaders and teachers to enhance the provision of play, sport and physical education, and to create better connections with physical activity providers in their local communities.

HEALTHY ACTIVE LEARNING COMMUNITY CONNECTORS

The Community Connector role has been established to support schools and communities to identify, plan and implement opportunities for quality play, sport and physical activity experiences for tamariki. This includes developing and maintaining meaningful relationships with schools, and community health and physical activity providers to ensure a connected and coordinated approach to health and wellbeing outcomes for our tamariki.
