Rodney

Overview

Since 2009, Life Education Rodney has successfully delivered the Life Education programme from Waimauku to Orewa and Mangawhai.

Our Life Education Rodney Educator reaches approximately 6,000 children from Year 1 to 8 throughout the largely rural and small-town region.

There are 37 schools included in the programme and the Life Education truck takes Harold the Giraffe and our Educator to each school annually or bi-annually.

There is always a waiting list for Life Education to visit Rodney primary and intermediate schools. Some schools are tiny and the mobile classroom is there for one day, whereas other schools host Life Education for more than three weeks.

As a health resource, Life Education takes children on a journey through five subject strands; identity and resilience, relationships and communities, human biology, food and nutrition, and substances.

Exploring these strands helps them understand the wonder of their own brain and bodies, and how best to take care of their health and wellbeing.

Life Education has a proud history in the Rodney community and our programmes are respected in the education sector.

The Life Education truck is optional for schools and the programme is tailored to meet the needs of the children and teachers at each school.
