Health and Wellbeing

The Health and Wellbeing of all who attend Ako Rolleston is of paramount importance to us.

Tamariki are encouraged to make positive decisions regarding their health and well being, for example learning about healthy options to eat, remembering to take care of their own belongings, hand washing, and remembering to wear their sun hats while outside in summer, or putting a jacket on when they feel cold.

We believe  with the right support from kaiako, children are capable of developing these skills as they move through their usual stages of development.

Please read our Health and Safety Policy here: AKO’s Health and Safety for Children Policy.

We believe that if we are to ensure our tamariki are happy, have good strong sense of belonging and wellbeing and sense of self worth, our Kaiako must too.

Here at Ako Rolleston we foster a strong team culture, where team members are valued both collectively and as individuals, where their health and wellbeing is nurtured and where they know they have a place.

Some of the ways we do this is by offering a subsidized gym membership to UBX Rolleston, shared kai, celebrations, our memories board, team gatherings…and the list goes on.
