Life Education Counties Manukau

When you think of Life Education Trust and Healthy Harold, you will likely associate us with the Health learning area, but did you know we also cover aspects of Social Sciences and Science? We can deliver programmes across all three learning areas, integrating these into what schools are already doing or introducing learning that you are planning to cover in class. A knowledge-rich curriculum requires knowledge to be carefully integrated and revisited over time, and this is an area we can help you with.

If you want to enquire about booking us in for 2027, you can fill in this form and we'll get in touch with you! https://forms.gle/mC17CM36XChu1swL9

Thank you so much to the June Gray Charitable Trust. Your funding has helped us replace one of our laptops which enables us to keep the Healthy Harold programme going into schools around the Counties-Manukau area.

When we were at Mangere Bridge School, Harold wanted to check what everyone was having for lunch. He was very impressed to see the variety of food that everyone was eating and how balanced their lunch boxes looked. He could see all the different sources of nutrients that were going to keep their bodies growing!

Harold knows how to do lots of things - but removing rust from a mobile classroom isn't one of those! Luckily, Trillian Trust helped us be able to send one of our mobile classrooms off for some much needed repairs. Thank you for helping keep Harold on the road!!

Harold loves cultural language weeks, as it is a great chance to experience and honour the many languages of NZ. Whenever possible our educators include these languages into the lessons being taught during their visits.

Harold had a wonderful time with Principal Maxine Tau and the students at South Auckland SDA School during Cook Island Language Week.
