Samuel Marsden Collegiate School takes wellbeing education seriously. They are committed to improving the mental wellbeing and happiness of all students, Preschool to Year 13, at both its campuses in Karori and Whitby.

The Visible Wellbeing approach, in partnership with Professor Lea Waters, is a framework that can be applied to every lesson and activity, academic and co-curricular.

Research has shown that taking an intentional, strategic approach to student wellbeing provides positive flow-on effects to learning outcomes, and gifts each student the skills to manage their own wellbeing, lifelong.

In our own backyard, our youngest kids are going without the basics. Unlike schools, early childhood centres don’t have a nationwide support programme. Children under 5 are at the most crucial age for brain development.

But KidsCan is helping. Since October they've been delivering five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres, and kitting out kids with new raincoats and shoes. They want to extend the programme, so no one misses out on learning.

KidsCan, Neighbourly and Stuff have partnered up to raise enough money to feed and clothe 1000 more children under five. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz.
