Our Vision

Inspiring tamariki and rangatahi to make positive choices

Life Education exists to empower children with the knowledge and confidence to make positive decisions for a healthy mind and body. Our vision is for all children in Canterbury to reach their full potential. Our purpose is to inspire generations . Our philosophy focuses on the mental health and well-being of children.

We work with schools to reach children through the Health Science topic that is part of the New Zealand Curriculum. What we teach is always evolving – as are the needs of children. Our programmes are delivered in state-of-the-art mobile classrooms by Educators who are qualified teachers. The mobile classrooms are fitted with technology that provides a unique learning environment through audio-visual materials, interactive models (including a talking brain) and Harold, the Giraffe.

The Life Education journey began in Canterbury in 1988 in a static classroom. Today we support four mobile classrooms. In 2022, Life Education Canterbury visited more than 20,000 children across 82 different schools. Life Education is a not-for-profit organisation and receives no Government funding to support its programme.
