Cheekee Tales In School
Building Community Lead Stories
Welcome to the Cheekee Tales In School page, where creativity, inclusivity, and community come together to inspire and empower the next generation. This page is dedicated to celebrating the incredible partnership between Cheekee Hero Charity and Ōrākei School, highlighting the transformative impact of the Cheekee Tales Art Programme on our students and the wider community.
Since 2021, the Cheekee Tales Art Programme has been a cornerstone of our collaboration with Ōrākei School. Designed to foster creativity and inclusivity, the programme encourages students to create original works of art and literature that reflect the core values of Ōrākei School. By engaging in this artistic process, students develop a deeper appreciation for diversity and a stronger sense of belonging.
We believe tamariki, rangatahi and their whānau with different abilities hold the power to connect with others, amplify resilience and create change by leading their own stories.
It is our ambition to be the movement for which empathy inclusion and belonging is realised. Empowering entire communities.
We are thrilled to present the artwork of eight talented Ōrākei School students, which will be displayed at four different locations within the Ōrākei suburb. Each piece of art embodies the unique superpowers and missions of the student-created superheroes, celebrating their creativity and the values they represent.
