Manukau is a newly formed cluster funded through CMDHB to provide nursing assessments for Yr 9 students from Decile 1-4.

The Manukau Cluster was previously known as AIMHI (Achievement in Multi Cultural High Schools). This was a group of nine decile 1 urban secondary schools where a large proportion of the schools’ student population come from Maori and Pacific Islands backgrounds.

THE FULL SERVICE SCHOOLS INITIATIVE:

In 2001, the Minister of Education, Honourable Trevor Mallard announced the introduction of the Full Service Schools initiative piloted in the AIMHI schools.

The initiative targets issues such as social and health needs and gives the Ministry of Education, AIMHI schools, and health services an opportunity to work in partnership and consult students and parents. It also demonstrates that significant student needs can be addressed by a wide range of agencies working co-operatively and in a co-ordinated manner, increasing synergy and improving outcomes relating to health, education and well being for both the students and the community.

With effective co-ordination of health, education and social services we are able to improve the level of care received by individual students and ensure that they access a range of school developed initiatives, which will result in improved health and educational achievement.
