This unit is more than a curriculum—it’s a movement towards an education system that honours the full human experience. A system that uplifts body, mind, and spirit not just for achievement, but for healing our relationships, restoring balance, and nurturing a better future—for our tamariki, our communities, and our planet.
Body, Mind & Spirit: A Whole-Child Approach to Flourishing in the Classroom
A complete, ready-to-use unit designed to nourish the whole learner—body, mind, and spirit—while reconnecting education with purpose, belonging, and balance.
In a time when students and educators alike are seeking deeper connection, calm, and meaning, this unit offers a powerful framework for reimagining classroom learning as a space of healing, strength, and growth.
Grounded in Indigenous wisdom and aligned with the principles of holistic education, this unit integrates:
Body – Movement, sleep, food, and physical awareness to support learning and emotional regulation
Mind – Growth mindset, neuroplasticity, mindfulness, and self-talk to build resilience and confidence
Spirit – Values, culture, breath, identity, and belonging to help students connect to themselves, others, and the world around them
