“This is always a fantastic kit, the students love to have specific roles and duties for our trip to the local reserve. We are currently in the planning stage but I love how, through conversation, students find their strengths and those that others see in them.”

“Unfortunately for reasons outside of our control we were not able to complete the kit as initially intended but what we were able to do was fantastic. Because we loop our classes for 2 years 50% of my students will be able to complete the project that we have started next year. There has been a fantastic buzz of very enthusiastic students in our class.”

“The students have all taken on different responsibilities. They have completed their own Risk Assessment Forms, Board of Trustee requests, made phones calls and sent emails. They have negotiated times and activities independently and shown great resourcefulness. They love their badges and have even requested to be allowed to wear their wristbands formally and have exception cards until the end of the year to be able to wear them.”

“This term our science focus was on landforms and how erosion has played a part in our community. I linked the SVA kit with our topic by getting learners to look where erosion took place in and around our school and working towards safeguarding the area or restoring if necessary to prevent hazards to our fellow learners and community.”
