Heke Kawa Oranga
Diploma in Health Promotion, Sport And Exercise Sciences
Combine your love of physical activity (sports, fitness, outdoor pursuits) with the theory of healthy lifestyle choices grounded in a tikanga Māori health and wellness framework.
Heke Kawa Oranga will introduce you to the fundamentals of exercise, nutrition, sports, fitness and health promotion. Physical activities and a real 'hands on' approach combine with theory to ensure a well-rounded knowledge base. Mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, gym instruction, sports and fitness are just some examples of the activities you may engage in along with nutrition, health promotion, outdoor safety and event planning and management.
This tohu is action packed and grounded in a tikanga Māori wellness framework along with iwi and hapū and te reo studies to promote and encourage better health and wellbeing outcomes for Māori whānau. Heke Kawa Oranga is also a practical programme to start a career in sports and health promotion or exercise instruction and is the
first year to the Poutuarongo Kawa Oranga degree.
