Te Whare Mauri Ora Wellbeing Model

We have introduced Wiremu Gray’s Wellbeing model Te Whare Mauri Ora.   Having the same model across the local ECE’s and schools allows us to develop a common wellbeing language with our students and their whānau.  We believe we have a number of programmes, initiatives and classroom sessions that slide into the Te Whare Mauri Ora model.
