2026 Event Dates:
Term 3, Tues 11 Aug - Fri 11 Sept
The Young and Healthy Virtual Adventure offers schools across the country a holistic, interactive and fun way to support student’s wellbeing. It’s an inclusive virtual adventure that moves the class team through the digital world, as they focus on a range of health-related elements in the real one. This includes things like movement, sleep, hydration, swapping screen time for other activities, and making healthy food choices.
​
So far, more than 170,000 tamariki / children from across Aotearoa New Zealand, have participated in the program, learning a bit about the places they "visit" from our inspiring ASICS Ambassadors, Ardie Savea, Ameliaranne Ekenasio and Kane Williamson.
If your child's class is participating in the Young and Healthy Virtual Adventure, they may be supplied a basic device to track their daily steps and / or activity time by their teacher. It is not a requirement to use a device to participate, so if this is not appropriate for your child, please let their teacher know.
​
They will also have a username and password provided to them by their teacher before the challenge starts. All passwords are encrypted for security so if they are unsure of their login, you can ask their Teacher who can generate a new password for them.
To access the program website click the green LOGIN / TAKIURU button above and enter your child's username and password. Once logged in you can then help them build their unique avatar and track their classes progress through the event.​​​
“Thanks to your program my daughter just started to learn table tennis! Every day she does monkey bars and plays tag. Even more she tries to drink lots of water and eat fruit and vegetables instead of sweeties.
It's such an amazing event for kids. Thank you so much!!!!”
