Fostering kindness in tamariki and schools
Children learn to be kind to the people around them and their surroundings. Developing the ability to be kind and empathetic is a skill we want children to practice so it becomes natural behaviour as an adult.

Having the Kindness Cup available in schools, means we can create more opportunities for tamariki to show kindness in the playground and at home.

About the kindness cup

The Kindness Cup is a fantastic way to foster kindness in school communities. By acknowledging kindness, we are fostering a conversation within school communities about what matters, and that being kind to people and the planet is worth celebrating and encouraging.

The Kindness Cup is currently available to schools on the higher end of the equity index (decile 4 and under).

Ngā mihi to the LEGO foundation

The Kindness Cup is proudly in partnership with The LEGO Foundation.

Schools on the programme receive LEGO sets for their classes and have access to learning resources, activities and active participants are invited to workshops and events, all thanks to The LEGO Group and The LEGO Foundation!

"The kudos that goes with being a Kindness Cup recipient makes it a huge incentive for our children to emulate our core values and respect".
