Smokefree Schools/Kura Auahi Kore is a project run by the Health Sponsorship Council (HSC). The HSC is a New Zealand government agency that promotes health and healthy lifestyles. We do this by developing and delivering health promotion and marketing programmes.

This website has been built in consultation with the National Smokefree/Auahi Kore Schools Working Group.
