About Healthy Active Learning

Following on from the Made to Move pilot which began in Invercargill and Bluff primary schools in 2019, the Government’s Wellbeing Budget provided investment for Healthy Active Learning.

​​​​​​​Healthy Active Learning is a joint government initiative between Sport New Zealand, the Ministry of Education and Te Whatu Ora (Ministry of Health) that seeks to improve the wellbeing of children and young people, through healthy eating and drinking and quality physical activity.
