“What a fantastic kit! So many exciting and engaging activities for students to take part in. My class is really big on presenting their work artistically, which fitted in well with what School Kit provided. It is fair to say my room is covered in their free resources. Thank you School Kit :)”

What impact has the introduction of the action plan had on your classroom? I did really use the action plan closely.

“Talofa lava School Kit, Thank you again for producing another successful thought-provoking kit. These kits continue to prove to be such a strong tool for collaboration and discussion for our students. This kit along with Tuia 250 really opened the flood gates of discussion around racism and inequality.

The activities absolutely lead to awesome discussions and activities and it became clear as we worked through the kit that we all to a degree have some sort of racist attitudes towards others be it in jobs, education, religion or general day to day life. The kit made us all acknowledge this as a truth and then gave good opportunities for us to rectify these and challenge us all in our own attitudes (teacher included!) Great discussions and questioning happened.”

Students are feeling valued - one student even started wearing her hijab (which she hadn't previously worn at school due to being embarrassed - I did not this and it was great to see her confidence grow and everyone accept her).
