6. HEALTH
“In health education, students develop their understanding of the factors
that influence the health of individuals, groups, and society: lifestyle,
economic, social, cultural, political, and environmental factors. Students
develop competencies for mental wellness, reproductive health and
positive sexuality, and safety management, and they develop
understandings of nutritional needs” (New Zealand Curriculum 2007).
At Marshland Primary we are committed to providing students with a
broad range of quality learning experiences in the area of Health. Current
students are participating in

7. SPORT
As a school community a strong emphasis is placed
on sport at Marshland Primary School. A wide
variety of sporting opportunities are provided by the
school and a commitment to maintaining high levels
of participation is balanced with a strong ethos of
achieving success.
As a small school we are extremely proud of the fact
that we are able to be more than competitive in a
range of sports with much larger schools.
