As health education specialists, our goal is consistent with the NZ Curriculum; to equip children with the knowledge and skills so they can make informed decisions. Over time, informed decisions will lead to positive changes in society.
Today children and young people face a lot of challenges, including: obesity, substance use, mental health and wellbeing, and bullying. The decisions we make as young people can dramatically affect how we live our lives in the future – this is why Life Education exists. Through education we help young people to understand how decisions they make today can affect their future health and wellbeing.
For over 35 years our Healthy Harold Programme has been supporting children to navigate the challenges of our complex and changing society.
I Have a Dream is a charity focused on inspiring dreams and enabling futures for Tamariki (children) and Rangatahi (youth). Program participants (Dreamers) are supported and mentored by Navigators across their time at school and beyond to year 15, helping connect them to ongoing education and employment opportunities.
Navigators come from all walks of life and backgrounds and work in partnership with schools, whānau and other people in the support networks of Dreamers to help see each child reach their full potential.
Your support helps us enable futures through education and opportunities for kids right here in Whangārei. Over 1,150 Dreamers from Years 1-14 are enrolled in I Have a Dream across our 4 partner schools in the Tikipunga and Otangarei communities.
