“This kit was very cool to do with the tamariki. Unfortunately, another teacher had ordered the same kit from this site, and so I chose to join his classes to do the project with them, so we did not double up on projects with the same age group. Overall, great outcome, the students put together kai packs for our local kaumatua, they loved the manaakitanga.”

“I ran this course for a level 9 and 10 health class. The Year 9 Students engaged in planning and running a tree planting day in a riparian zone at a local maraie. Not only did the students develop planning skills, but due to the student-driven nature of this kit, they engaged positively with an important aspect of their community and learnt about the ecology and biodiversity of riparian terrain and the benefits of regenerating this ecosystem. They managed to plant roughly 300 trees in 1 day. The Year 10 health class focused their learning on the impact of poverty in low-income areas and planned a food and goods drive, which they then repackaged into care packets that they delivered on a weekend to socially and physically isolated populations and to families in low socioeconomic conditions. This class managed to distribute 60 parcels containing canned, packaged and fresh food, clothing, toys, seeds, treats, seedlings, hygiene products and cleaning products.”
