Lauren Harris (Educator)

Kia ora, my name is Lauren and I am thrilled to be working alongside Harold to deliver the Healthy Harold programme to schools across the Rotorua area. As a fully registered and qualified teacher, I’m passionate about helping students build strong foundations for lifelong health and wellbeing. Having grown up in Rotorua myself, I experienced the Life Education programme from Year 1 through to Year 8, and I’m excited to now bring this invaluable learning to the next generation.

We deliver a wide range of lessons that cater to the diverse needs of our tamariki and kura, ensuring that each lesson is engaging, relevant, and adaptable to the unique contexts of every school we visit. I believe Life Education is an invaluable resource that helps foster resilience, confidence, and a deep understanding of personal wellbeing from an early age. I’m honoured to be part of a programme that empowers young minds and supports the hauora of our future generations.

Jules McLaughlin (Chairperson)

Kia Ora. I have been teaching in Rotorua for 21 years. I feel very privileged to have been a part of the  Life Education Trust since 2014. We have a fantastic team of Trustees who work hard to ensure that the wonderful work Life Ed can continue in our beautiful city. I have seen first-hand, the overwhelmingly positive response our tamariki have to Life Education. The visits to the mobile classroom are something special and Harold is such a well-known character for young and old. If you see us out and about in the community, be sure to say hello.
