Making a difference through Health and Physical Education in the New Zealand Curriculum

Health and Physical Education in the New Zealand Curriculum is making a difference to teaching and learning in schools. It is helping schools to become proactive in meeting the well-being needs of their students, and in developing a positive school culture. This, in turn, is making a difference in the lives of many New Zealand students.
