Equity at the school gate for all children sits at the heart of Painga Project. So, we work with our schools and their communities to reduce the barriers to engagement and learning for all students. 

Central to our mahi is the belief that the earlier a child can fully engage in their  educational journey  the more likely they are to remain confident learners, so we are unapologetically passionate about supporting primary and intermediate schools.

Painga simply means ‘well-being’ so nurturing school wellbeing sits at our heart.

 
Core to our work has been building an in-school vision and hearing system to support students’ vision and hearing needs throughout their educational journey, all within the school day. We exist in a continuous improvement loop as we work to offer vision and hearing screening, diagnostic audiometry and optometry solutions that work in today’s world for students and their families.
