Paths of victory: Victory Village – A case study
Funded through the NZ Families Commission Innovative Practice Fund, this case study research project explores the innovative practices and outcomes associated with the convergence of health, education, social and community development goals at Victory Village.
Victory Village is a partnership between Victory Primary School and Victory Community Health. This partnership led to the establishment of a physical ‘community hub’ at the school. The hub is a multipurpose community, health and recreation centre and school hall located on the school grounds.
The centre provides one-to-one health services for residents, as well as a large number of recreational and social programmes and community events.
The aim of the research project was to look at the difference Victory Village is making for families and its community, and how it is making this difference.
