Building confidence to transform physical activity culture

“Vicki, our advisor, has been an amazing resource. She’s taught us to trust and value ourselves and know that we can do this.” – Tumuaki

At Our Lady of the Assumption School in Christchurch, long‑term guidance from a Healthy Active Learning advisor helped transform the school’s approach to physical activity.

At the whole-school level, they re‑imagined physical activity as inclusive, enjoyable and student led. A popular play box – filled with moonhoppers, stilts and loose parts – is now in use every break time, managed by student physical activity leaders.
