“Wow! What a fab kit this is! We are a kura based in Naenae, Lower Hutt, so the section about Naenae was really excellent for our tamariki. We loved looking through all the treasures. There is so much information in this kit, that we will be continuing to use it for a long time! Thank you, School Kit!”

“As a kaiako, I did not use the kit myself but did show it to all kura staff. We all perused the contents and really liked what we saw. We were on another kaupapa so the kit was not used at all. I failed to contact you to let you know sooner but have only reached out once I saw the email to respond. Our kura are still interested in the resources and I will let you know once we have planned for next term. Thank you for the ideas.”
