Nelson Tasman Life Education Trust

Life Education Trust is all about helping our children to grow up with good self esteem, respect for themselves and others, with a healthy body by making healthy choices. Life Education is totally community funded. The funds required to operate the mobile classroom and deliver the Life Education Programmes to the Primary and Intermediate Schools in the Nelson/Tasman region is high. That is why we need your help.

Nelson/Tasman established a Life Education Community Trust in November 2002. This was made possible by patrons Roy and Renate Savage gifting a mobile classroom to the community to enable the Trust to be started.

Since its inception, the Nelson/Tasman mobile classroom has visited over 95% of the Primary and Intermediate Schools in the region – including Motueka, Riwaka and Golden Bay. The programme has been extremely well-received such that our mobile classroom now has a fully-booked schedule of schools from one end of Nelson/Tasman to the other, teaching the Life Education Programme, and along with Harold, has become a highly visible and popular identity within the community.

In Nelson/Tasman our programme is dependent on the support of a vital group of local Sponsors whose contributions by way of funding and services help us to deliver the programme to schools at a highly subsidised rate so that all pupils have the opportunity to attend.

Our Sponsors are true partners in our programme – we encourage and create opportunities for their participation in our community activities and value their commitment to our goals. Without these partnerships the Life Education programme could not operate in Nelson/Tasman.
