Tomarata School Health and Physical Education

At Tomarata School the focus is on the well-being of the students themselves, of other people, and of society through learning in health-related and movement contexts.

The learning activities in health and physical education arise from the integration of four concepts: Personal health and physical development, Movement concepts and motor skills, Relationships with other people, Healthy communities and environments.

Our school is participating in the ‘Healthy Active Learning’ initiative between Sport New Zealand and the Ministries of Health and Education to improve the wellbeing of tamariki through healthy eating, drinking and quality physical activity.

Regular inter-school sporting tournaments are held between Tomarata and other small rural schools in the Rodney area (Rodney Rural Schools- RRS). Students thoroughly enjoy a range of physical fitness and sports. Outdoor education trips such as camps, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking and swimming at the local lake are also a hit with our students.

We like our students to wear Tomarata School t-shirts at sporting events and outdoor education excursions, which can be ordered through the School Office.
