Healthy Active Learning
Getting tamariki in schools moving and physically active
We support schools and kura to build healthy and active learning environments that promote holistic wellbeing for tamariki.
Healthy Active Learning is a collaborative initiative involving Sport New Zealand, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Education. By partnering with primary and intermediate schools, as well as kura throughout Aotearoa, the aim is to enhance the wellbeing of tamariki through healthy eating, drinking, and access to quality physical activity.
Underpinned by the Government’s Child and Youth Wellbeing Strategy, Healthy Active Learning consists of three components:
- Health and Physical Education, and Hauora curriculum resources (Ministry of Education)
- A health promotion workforce and toolkits that support the implementation of healthy food and water-only policies within schools and kura (Ministry of Health)
- A physical activity workforce that seeks to support the implementation of quality physical activity experiences (Sport New Zealand)
