Active As
Active As (TC Ngaru) is about the journey of seeing a spark within our less active rangatahi and how we can support them to see them prosper from that spark. Active As strives to see the well-being of our students enhanced by offering students a wave of opportunities to get innovative and active. We are inclusive of all students and ensure access to opportunity is not limited.
The goal is essentially about animating their student life here at Tangaroa College through a variety of things; lunchtime activities, after-school workshops, holiday programmes, etc.
Highlights:
Variety: The scope of opportunity for students through Active As is immeasurable, we have been able to explore multiple avenues of interest. For example, boxing, weightlifting, hip-hop dance, etc.
Teacher involvement: Each week we are seeing an increased number of teachers involved with our students in lunchtime activities
Inclusivity: Active As is all about creating a pathway for our inactive or underactive students to participate in activities they usually wouldn’t participate in
- Community: We recognise that it takes a village to raise a child and to be able to encourage our students in activity participation, Whanau participation is important as well. Therefore, at the start of term three, we began a Saturday morning fitness bootcamp for Whanau to get involved. We are looking to create more avenues for students and their Whanau to get active.
- Connection: Active As has been able to connect with a variety of outside providers who are and will be engaging and working with our students
