Connecting ākonga to marae through physical activity

“Each school has their own way of catering for the wellbeing of their tamariki but when the marae is involved it just takes it a step above.” – Tumuaki

In South Auckland, Healthy Active Learning supported schools to strengthen their connection with Papakura Marae through tākaro Māori and shared kai. Through this partnership, ākonga and kaiako have gained greater awareness of the marae and the many services it provides to whānau, while developing a stronger sense of belonging.
