Hauora Heroes Holiday Adventure

Over these five days each child will be the hero of their own story, they will develop and implement a toolbox of skills to help with resilience, self awareness, social and emotional intelligence. Our mindfulness activities stimulate creativity and allow each Hauora Hero to better understand themselves, what makes them unique, their strengths... Their superpowers!

Tamariki need to learn their superpowers and create their own toolbox when they are young, to support them with challenges in their everyday life and allow them to live happy and healthy lives.

Hauora Heroes can choose which days they come for, each day is created so that tamariki can come for one, two, or the whole five days!

Who Is It For?

“One of the primary ironies of modern education is that we ask students to ‘pay attention’ dozens of times a day, yet we never teach them how" - Saltzman, 2011
