Ngaru Ora
Ngaru Ora is one of the newest youth programmes to hit Te Ora Hou Ōtautahi – a surf-based programme that focuses on the mental wellbeing of a young person.
Over the course of 10 weeks, qualified and experienced youth worker Wiremu Richards takes a group of young people out to experience, grow, learn and engage in sessions based on surf practices.
The course covers:
- Exploring our hauora (health and wellbeing)
- Learning how to surf
- Surf etiquette
- Board riding fundamentals
- The importance of water safety
- Ocean therapy
- Beach awareness
Young people may get the opportunity to plan a surf trip holiday programme at the end of their sessions – this is dependant on the given season.
Ngaru Ora will be introduced into more schools in 2016.
