- What is St John in Schools?
St John in Schools have a range of fun, interactive and engaging programmes that teaches tamariki (children) and rangatahi (youth) how to be life savers in an emergency, how to keep themselves and others safe from injury, and how to boost their self-confidence and resilience. We're committed to developing confident young people who care for each other, and the health and wellbeing of their communities.
