set: Research Information for Teachers, n3 p50-55 2023
As part of their kaupapa of catering for the whole child, Pacific Advance Secondary School in Otahuhu has implemented an innovative programme called Tu Tangata to get their talavou physically active. This has led to improvements in mental wellbeing and academic achievements. Tu Tangata is an expression well known to Maori and means "stand tall". It is based on a philosophy that encourages young people to stand up and be counted and take responsibility for their futures.
