Our Health content is created by Kathleen Beckett, a Health and Physical Education teacher at Heretaunga College in Upper Hutt. She has taught from Year 9-13 in the Health and Physical Education context.

She is currently the teacher of senior Health Education at Heretaunga College and has become passionate about Health and Wellbeing projects across the school, not just within the classroom.
