TE WHARE TAPA WHĀ

At Aurora College we follow a “community hub model” with the intention of providing an onsite facility where students can access a wide range of school-based and external support services. We aim to reduce barriers to access services and to ensure support of our students’ hauora/wellbeing. The four cornerstones of health, as described in the Te Whare Tapa Whā model, provides a foundation for the service provision at links@ aurora.

• School Counsellors

• Careers advice, information, and guidance

• Public Health Nurse

• Physiotherapy

• Social Worker in Schools (SWIS)

• Counselling, mentoring and social service external agencies

• Group programmes such as ‘Travellers’ and ‘Seasons for Growth’
