Alcohol and other drug (AoD) sits primarily in the Health and Physical Education (HPE) learning area of The New Zealand Curriculum. As a context for learning it also has relevance for other areas such as the social sciences, English, and science.
FASD causes and effects on children, parents and families can be included in AoD education if teachers choose.

A whole school approach
A whole school approach
A positive whole-school approach including and involving the wider school community is important in shaping the values, attitudes and behaviours of the students.
The New Zealand Curriculum recognises classroom teaching is only one part of the educative process. Learning is enhanced when students are engaged at school, feel they belong, and are valued.
Tūturu supports New Zealand schools to take a whole school approach to preparing students to live in a world where alcohol and drugs exist.
A whole school approach uses multiple strategies. It incorporates the school culture, curriculum, structures and organisational models (its norms and standards), and the attitudes and values modelled within the school environment. It involves everyone in the school community working together.
