Wise-Up®

Walk Tall Tamariki


Wise-Up is an 8-week life skills group programme for children aged 6 - 12 years, teaching self-respect, self-control, self-confidence and self-esteem.

Groups are run after school in the community or for schools during school time.

Children learn how to work in a team, how to handle peer pressure, personal safety skills and a range of ways to deal with emotions.

Individually, and as a group, participants are encouraged to look at their actions and the consequences.

Wise-Up after school programmes are available each school term. The programmes on offer for next term can be viewed on the Programme Calendar.
