The Far North District’s education system is as diverse as the people that populate its boundaries.

Healthy Families Far North is working with education settings – from early childhood through to tertiary – and those providers who also have invested in the district’s future leaders and their whanau to more effectively impact on good health choices and outcomes.

Healthy Families Far North is driven by a whole school approach, whereby we view education settings as systems of interconnected parts and we value the process of inquiry as that which provides the catalyst for change.
