Help transform student well being through the Tōku Ara (My Pathway) Curriculum

Kia ora koutou Whanau and the wider community

This page is being set up to raise money for the Tōku Ara Wellbeing Curriculum, a five week residential program designed for all Year 10 students at Whangamata Area School on the Coromandel Peninsula. It is a transformative approach toward enhancing student wellbeing.

With the vision to connect students to self, to others and to the land, Tōku Ara (My pathway) aims to develop a culture of sharing, building and maintaining positive relationships, adopting a healthy and active lifestyle and treating everyone and the environment with respect. The Tōku Ara mission is to set students on a path of personal growth, and support students to discover and develop their potential, through challenging experiences within their local environment.

In order to sustain a curriculum like Tōku Ara for all future Rangatahi (youth) in our community, funding is required. There are some financial realities to a curriculum like this and we want to keep Tōku Ara accessible and equitable to all students moving forward. Therefore, resourcing and funding Toku Ara in a sustainable way is crucial.
