What Schools Say About Us
Our educator was absolutely fantastic. She was enthusiastic and made the learning enjoyable for the children. I also think it is special that the lessons take place in a learning area that is different to an ordinary classroom. Harold is also a favourite amongst the children and the teachers :) I would highly recommend this programme to other schools. (Sunnybrae Normal School)
A passionate educator, with resources and knowledge to engage all students in learning. (Albany Primary School)
It is interactive and appeals to the children. The programme uses different strategies to engage the children from talk to questions, video clips, Harold (always a favourite) and activity. It also relates to situations in the children's own lives and helps with different strategies to solve their problems. (St Joseph's School)

Its engaging and motivating for the children. It is a place they love to visit, with messages that they can engage with and relate to. It reinforces our class programme and the school curriculum.

Excellent, enthusiastic, knowledgeable instructor. Fast, engaging lessons. Great class management. Exciting visual resources. (RidgeView)
The children absolutely adore the educator and Harold. They write stories about them and talk about what they learn for days afterwards. The educator is quick to learn children's names - I don't know how she does it. The teachers are in awe of her. (Manuka Primary School)

The Life Ed program offers information in a fresh innovative way. Just the different venue motivates the students to engage and listen. Our Life Ed teacher was excellent, she delivered the program in a knowledgeable, fun, 'spontaneous' way that the kids really enjoyed. I was planning to send email about how great she was!! (St Marys Northcote Auckland)
I believe the Life Ed program offers kids a focused, in depth forum for learning in a motivating and engaging environment. I totally believe in educating our kids about healthy relationships, nutrition and health. The kids love it and the book work activities tie nicely into the Health/PE curriculum with social relationships. (Mairangi Bay School)

This programme provides a very different experience for children. They enjoy the anticipation of entering the van and the fun interesting environment is a big draw card. Lessons are varied and informative and presented by an enthusiastic presenter. (Glamorgan School)
Life Ed's difference comes in many ways - the classroom is different and the students enjoy that. The material used is fun and different too!. (Westminster Christian School)
The educator is knowledgeable about the topic and pitch the content at the level of the students. The educator is warm and welcoming and is happy to answer teacher questions. The resources are relevant and very helpful. The topics relate to our curriculum. (Sherwood Primary School)
Life Education is an opportunity to get out of the classroom and enjoy a different learning environment. Just by looking at the children's faces when they know they have Life Education or after a session you can tell that they have enjoyed it. If they enjoy it then you know they are learning! (Albany Junior High School)
The programme is engaging. This is mainly attributable to the educator who has this amazing capacity to make every lesson unique and enjoyable. Without exception, we have reports that the lessons that our students attend are appropriate, engaging, and dynamic. The fact that she does this day in and day out is even more exceptional as she never seems bored or routine in her delivery. (Murrays Bay Intermediate)
Outside education delivering strong messages, nature of the classroom, fun parts like Harold. (Birkdale Primary)
We have been very pleased with the professional approach that the educator has taken. The mobile classroom is very motivational i.e. excellent resources. The children are motivated and very positive about what they learn. (Sunnybrae Normal School)
Stimulating use of up to date facts, information & technology in conjunction with using visual, auditory & kinesethic learning to cater for student learning styles. Also answers students directly as they arise in the caravan sessions. (Browns Bay Primary)
The children regard it as a live show, and take Harold and his values to heart. I noticed more empathy within my class once we brought Harold into solving social issues, and it was easier for the children to identify the appropriate responses required in difficult situations. (Pinehurst School)
It is a personal programme which uses real situations which targets the students straight interest. It was a great programme and the class really enjoyed it! (Northcote Intermediate School)
