- Life Education which is a yearly classroom tailored programme based on the needs of the students at that time. The purpose is to educate and empower children to make healthy choices so they can live full and healthy lives with specific lessons that focus on their body, friendships, their identity, food and nutrition and helpful and harmful substances.
- Keeping Ourselves Safe is a NZ Police programme that is taught biannually with the purpose of enabling children and young people to learn and apply a range of safety skills that they can use when interacting with others. Students recognise the differences between healthy and unhealthy relationships, and those who have been or are being abused are encouraged to seek help.
- Sexuality Education programme that is taught biannually and provides students with the knowledge, understanding, and skills to develop positive attitudes towards sexuality, to take care of their sexual health, and to enhance their interpersonal relationships, now and in the future. It includes the concept of hauora, the process of health promotion, and the socio-ecological perspective. Students will consider how the physical, social, mental and emotional, and spiritual dimensions of sexuality influence their well-being.
