The Graeme Dingle Foundation, which delivers three different life skills programmes to Marlborough students, has moved its teachings to virtual platforms in light of the coronavirus lockdown.
The Kiwi Can programme, which operates in 15 Marlborough primary schools, has continued to deliver content to students through short videos.
Kiwi Can leader Fili Fotu-Moala says he misses seeing students face-to-face, but making videos allowed them to reach whole families.

Marlborough highway patrol Constable Brett Burns got as far as Wanaka on March 23 - having ridden about 2760km from Cape Reinga - when it was announced the country would be going into lockdown. He had ridden for 20 days straight and only had about 330km to reach Bluff and complete the journey.
However, Burns said it was the responsible thing to do to end the trip and he drove back to Blenheim from Wanaka the next day.
"After doing a lot of research on Covid-19 alert levels after talking to my wife ... personally and professionally and it's just added up to pull the pin and come back.

The 90-bed complex was announced by the Christchurch branch last year after concerns a shortage of motel and backpacker beds prevented sports teams and performers from visiting.
YMCA said at the time it hoped to open the branch in February or March, but that was pushed back as developing the upstairs space proved challenging.
The building's co-owner Robin Sutherland said he was shocked by the number of consultants required to tick all the boxes to convert the first floor into accommodation.
