2 years into Active As, we asked ākonga and kaiako at Te Aute College how it’s shaping their kura. From better hauora to lifting academic performance, Active As is making a real impact.

A student-led approach to physical activity has seen impressive results by boosting across-the-board sports participation at Mana College in Porirua, near Wellington. 

The rangatahi-led programme has increased student participation in physical activities and strengthened connections among students at this Wellington school.

In Te Tairāwhiti East Coast, more rangatahi are becoming physically active by strengthening their connections to culture, community, and te taiao.

Since two new pieces of equipment were installed earlier in the year, Haeata Community Campus has noticed improved behaviour in the classroom and more students engaged in PE – particularly those who were usually less active.
