For our tamariki, it’s also where they develop and practice life skills. Unfortunately, many Kiwi kids aren't having the same playful upbringing enjoyed by previous generations. There are several reasons for this, including a lack of time, space, societal changes and an increase in screen time.
We’re visiting schools across Porirua to gain insights from tamariki on how they want to play, and what things they want to see in Porirua. And we’re bringing play to our outdoor spaces and places to bring people together and get them having fun with movement at any age.
