This aligns with Taha Wairua.  It explores the spiritual aspect to wellbeing and will include talanoa from rangatahi to rangatahi.  We recognize spiritual wellbeing is a journey of personal discovery.

Manurewa High School

We have run a series of programmes at Manurewa High School. Our current offering is a Waananga programme that explores hauora and holistic wellness.

We believe in the power of partnership. It takes a village to raise a child. As a grass-roots community youth organisation we partner with Manurewa High School to offer tools for rangatahi to thrive. We believe that rangatahi need support in our areas of well-being to thrive. Our partnership with Manurewa High School is a way we can support learners with well-being so that they can also thrive in education.
