In Aotearoa New Zealand we recognise Maori models of Hauora - Wellbeing, which encompassed in the the Taha tinana - physical, Taha whānau - family health, Taha hinengaro - mental and emotional, social, and Taha wairua - spiritual dimensions of health.”

We believe there is a strong connection to children’s wellbeing, and their academic/curriculum achievement. Children with a strong sense of personal wellbeing are likely to be more successful in their learning, progress and in their lives.

Our We CARE philosophy is a great example of this. In the last couple of years Wellbeing has become more of a focus for our staff professional learning.

Te Whare Tapa Whā was developed by leading Māori health advocate Sir Mason Durie in 1984. The model describes health and wellbeing as a wharenui/meeting house with four walls.
These walls represent taha wairua/spiritual wellbeing, taha hinengaro/mental and emotional wellbeing, taha tinana/physical wellbeing and taha whānau/family and social wellbeing. Our connection with the whenua/land forms the foundation.
When all these things are in balance, we thrive. When one or more of these is out of balance our wellbeing is impacted.

Kelly Club, Kelly Sports and Nathan Wallis have created his in-class resource to help schools educate kids on the inner workings of the brain and how important it is to have balance in life! Some of our students got involved by asking their questions about the brain. Your children might find these interesting to watch in the holidays.
