We believe our tamariki are made for a purpose.

We are inspirational storytellers bringing hope and aroha to children in Aotearoa.
We encourage and support tamariki to make positive life choices, grow their mana and self-worth, and achieve their potential.

Launchpad – Christian Values Education (formerly know as “Bible in Schools”) is a not-for-profit organisation that equips our tamariki with tools to navigate the ever-changing world.

Our Launchpad Champions programme:

• Is a weekly, 30-minute, fun and interactive presentation using korero, multimedia, music and games to present Christian values.
• Presents korero (stories) from the Bible and well-known role models from NZ history and the world to provide positive examples for our tamariki.
• Reinforces school values, and supports key competencies in the New Zealand Curriculum/Te Marautanga o Aotearoa.
• Supports the health aspect of the curriculum, in particular hauora and the taha wairua/spiritual aspect of te whare tapa whā.
• Supports wellbeing in education, including the Child and Youth Wellbeing Strategy, helping children develop social and emotional skills and feel loved and supported.
• Supports Aotearoa NZ History, sharing foundational stories with a focus on Māori narratives.
