Te wero mā te akomanga WOW Class Challenge

This is a competition that rewards classes (not individuals) and replaces the WOW passport competition.

Using the wallchart in class

You can use the wallchart in class, alongside the bookmarks and stickers to set individual goals or a class challenge. This creates a visual aid for students to track – and reward – their participation against their personal goals.

Set each student’s goal and record how tamariki get to school using stickers, stamps or ticks for trips to school. Use prize packs to incentivise, and supplement with other prizes such as winning privileges or activities.

Your class can track the distance travelled by the whole class over March by estimating each student's trip distance, or challenge your class to beat their record from week to week. Observe how the weather or events may impact how ākonga travel to school.

Use Te Haerenga o ngā Tamariki and our customised learning experiences alongside the wallchart. Data can also be entered online, on the day, or using our new bulk entry function, to create relatable learning experiences.

Regional Class Competition

The competition is open to all classes of students at registered schools and runs 2-31 March 2026. You must enter your data by 20 April 2026. 

Use the WOW wallchart to set goals and enter 5 consecutive days of data into Te Haerenga o ngā Tamarikiopen_in_new. Your class will then be in to win one of 6 class prize packs. There are 3 x random prize draws and 3 x celebration packs for classes with the top walking and wheeling rates.  

For your class to take part in the competition, teachers must enter 5 consecutive days (Monday-Friday) of travel data on Te Haerenga o ngā Tamarikiopen_in_new. All class entries for 5 consecutive days automatically go into the competition. You can use the same account as for Kura Kete. 

1. Schools register for Movin’March. Your lead teacher will distribute prize packs to all classes at your school in late February. 
2. Each class will receive a WoW Challenge wallchart with stickers, bookmarks and stamps. 
3. Ākonga set an achievable goal on the wallchart and record trips over March. They can copy their goal onto a bookmark to take home and share with whānau. Use stickers, stamps or ticks to mark progress.
4. Note only trips TO school are eligible.
5. Promote the challenge to your school community:
   • See Newsletter promotion for helpful content.
   • Set up dedicated drop-off points (e.g. Park & Stride locations) for students who live too far away to walk or wheel the whole way.
   • Use prize packs to incentivise and supplement these with other prizes such as privileges and activities.  
6. To be in to win one of 6 prizes, teachers will select a challenge week by choosing 5 consecutive days (preferably where participation rates are highest) and enter travel data in Te Haerenga o ngā Tamarikiopen_in_new.  
7. Travel data will need to be entered no later than 20 April 2026 to be eligible.
