This work has been a collaboration between the secondary school and the House of Science, facilitated by the Priority One instep programme and with funding from the NZ Lottery Grants Board.
The kits are both about wetlands. One focuses on the land and one on the water. The teacher notes and activities are in Te Reo Maori and English.
The day started with a Powhiri, morning tea and then two Y11 students spoke about their experiences working with the wetland so far.
We then had speakers from other stakeholders speak to the group and then the kits were officially launched. After lunch we were taken on a tour of the school.
The school has its own wetland, Te Repo to look after. This means that the students can relate what they are learning in the kits directly to their own context.
