What an amazing two days of whanaungatanga, learning and sharing successes at the Healthy Active Learning National Hui in Wellington. 150 people, including the Healthy Active Learning physical activity and Health workforces, heard from expert and passionate speakers supporting the Kaupapa – all about enhancing the wellbeing of tamariki and rangatahi through healthy eating and drinking and quality physical activity. As Group CE of Sport NZ Raelene Castle said in her keynote, “Sport and physical activity has the ability to enhance the lives of tamariki. Schools and kura play an important role in ensuring all tamariki have access to positive physical activity experiences."  

Next week is Play Week Aotearoa 2024. Play is at the heart of Sport NZ’s strategy.
