What influence has this kit had in promoting the longevity of water saving habits and what other water related topics did your students come up with? I brought this kit with me from my previous school in an urban area to my new school in a rural area where most had water tanks. Most students were aware and good at saving water because of being on tank water so perhaps this would have worked better in urban setting. Raised issues bout desalination which was something students researched.

“This kit was easy for students to relate to their lives and all could transfer actions between school and home. They enjoyed the chore chooser and stamping the charts. Some students were more engaged than others. I used with Y7-8 students and think it would have been better suited to younger students.”

What was the impact of the daily stamping practice in your classroom and which water benchmark did your students find most fascinating? The daily stamping made the kids way more aware of how much water they were actually using, and it sparked some good chats in class. The benchmark they were most into was the shower one — they couldn’t believe how much water gets used without you even noticing!

How have your students' perceptions of water conservation changed since using the resource and did it foster a sense of responsibility and awareness in your classroom? Using the resource really opened their eyes to how much water we waste without thinking. It definitely lifted their sense of responsibility — I noticed more awareness, better choices, and way more conversations about saving water around the classroom.

“The Water Savers Kit was an engaging, hands-on resource that helped our ākonga understand the importance of protecting wai. The activities were practical, fun, and culturally meaningful, supporting strong discussions about kaitiakitanga and how small actions can make a big difference. A valuable kit for deepening real-world learning.”
