Healthy Active Learning
Introducing a new initiative in wider Wellington Region schools
Healthy Active Learning is a new Wellbeing Budget initiative that will promote and improve healthy eating and physical activity in schools, kura and early learning services across Aotearoa. The initiative is jointly overseen and funded by the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education and Sport New Zealand. This year Sport Wellington will begin working with local schools to equip teachers with tools to educate their students on how to look after their own wellbeing.
Active Health & Wellness
The importance of keeping active
We want to do everything we can to encourage people to stay active, wherever possible, which we think is now more important than ever with the impact of COVID-19. If you’re well enough, being active is important for your physical and mental wellbeing as it helps to manage stress and anxiety. We have produced a helpful one-pager which sets out some great ideas for being active at home or close to home – there are options for all ages so take a look!
