Kura Kete
Kura Kete is a library of engaging and relevant learning experiences, crafted by teachers for teachers.
Kia ora and welcome to Kura Kete!
Greater Wellington has created easy to use learning resources for schools and educators.
We've worked with schools across our rohe (region) to understand teachers’ needs. Our education team has designed and curated a library of learning experiences to meet those needs.
Movin'March 2026 is all go!
137 awesome kura have joined up for Movin'March 2026! Including two new schools, haere mai ki te Māehe Manawa Ora!
Remember, you can use our resources all year round, so if you've had a bad run of weather, school camps or events have gotten in the way, try Active April or Movin'May. We're here along with our lovely Enviroschools facilitators, to support you however we can!
And if you have a great story to share with us, get in touch. We'd love to share great stories about ākonga, kaiako and whānau doing their best to Walk or Wheel, and show the rest of Aotearoa how it's done! ;-)

Te haere haumaru ki te kura Safe travel to school
We've selected the best road safety resources available for you. These are relevant to tamariki and rangatahi in Wellington region primary schools and come from trusted providers.
Fostering active and safe transport
Our aim is to promote active, healthy, and safe trips to school by:
- Helping ākonga (students) and whānau (families) to be healthy, safe, and connected with their community.
- Helping teachers with directly relevant and immediately useful resources that ease school gate chaos.
Vision
Greater Wellington’s vision for our region is for a thriving environment, connected communities, and a resilient future.
As part of this, we encourage whānau across the region to use active modes – walking or wheeling – especially for short or frequent trips.
Walking or wheeling to school is fun, healthy, and builds children’s independence. It’s a great way to learn road safety and helps the school community to connect with each other and their neighbourhoods.
