Schools

The Healthy Harold programme supports children to:

• Develop life skills relating to their health and wellbeing
• Understand how to make healthy choices
• Gain knowledge about health and their bodies
• Develop self esteem and a positive understanding of themselves
• Develop strategies for relating to others
• Our teaching covers content across five major strands: food and nutrition, human biology, relationships & communities, identity and resilience, and substances.

• A flexible resource that supports teachers in delivering the health curriculum to their children
• A shared planning approach to create lessons specific to children's learning needs
• A unique and engaging learning environment - our mobile classrooms come to your school
• A quality, highly motivating and engaging programme that is flexible to the individual needs of the school and children
• Professional development opportunities for teaching staff

Healthy Harold impact and outcomes:

Ministry of Education research identified 86% of schools use our Healthy Harold programme. We support schools to meet the unique needs of their children as part of the school’s teaching plan. Schools seek specialist support to get the very best outcomes to meet the needs of their children.

Teachers are asked to provide their feedback after their lessons with Life Education. This continuous evaluation process measures the quality of our teaching and how we meet teacher’s and children’s learning needs. This is managed independently through Research NZ.

Our goal in Auckland West is to bring the Healthy Harold program to as many schools in our region as we possibly can. If your school would like a visit from Harold and one of our educators please complete the information below and submit your inquiry to our office.

If your school has never had Harold visit before please also free to enquire about our sponsorship program where a number of schools who may normally have a chance to see Harold can be funded by one of our generous sponsors or we can work with your school community to find a possible sponsor.
