Wellbeing education
What a privilege to work with the children and teachers of Banks Avenue school Christchurch and promote their Healthy Heroes programme. The Children got to tell their own story, reporting on why taking charge of your own health and wellbeing matters. They were ably assisted by a cast of helpful cartoon style characters including Clever Kahua, Mealtime Millie, Helpful Hemi and Refreshed Rosie. Supported with fundraising from New Zealand Rotary, the Healthy Heroes programme is a wonderful example of grassroots community action in support of a thriving future for our children and communities.
