Goodspace is a digital wellbeing platform using surveys. Years 5-8 students answer questions so the kura can use the responses to access appropiate and effective support for the classroom.
The screening is being piloted by Whakātane Kāhui Ako with students from years 5-13.
We are excited to be able to use this tool to improve wellbeing for our kura and tamariki.
