What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? This was an eye-opener for the students who had not considered how rubbish at school impacts the ocean. This has led on to looking at our responsibilities towards keeping the Awa clean and one small change can make a difference.

“The kit was brilliant, but due to COVID and then the flu it had to be dragged out. The content of the kit was easily transferred to local content- as the school is situated close to the Awa.”

How has this kit impacted on your class culture? It's definitely opened their eyes to their environment around them and the impact they have on dropping rubbish and not putting it in the bin. They even keep the classroom tidier now because of this kit. Thank you very much!

In what ways did this kit impact student attitude towards environmentalism? Some students were not interested in picking up the rubbish to start with. But the more we dived into it, the more they were concerned about the rubbish. I think it opened their eyes as to what was going on in the wider world and they started to care more

How has this kit impacted on your class culture? Tamariki are now more apt to call each other out on littering. They are hugely mindful of the amount of masks we waste or where they end up around our school. A lot of them have also stopped bringing more plastic waste in their lunchboxes.

In what ways did this kit impact student attitude towards environmentalism? Amazing they got a lot out of it. We went to a beach that (unbeknownst) to us had been cleaned up by another group a week or so before. So although they didn't get a lot of rubbish, they were pleased that other people had the same ideas as them.

“We had a bit of a hard time at the beginning due to high numbers of student illness. So it took us a while to get it up and running. We set out to go to a local beach with mana whenua from our area. Some tamariki in our class have whakapapa back to the marae so it was great for them to share their area with us. We investigated the impact of rubbish especially plastic on our waterways and where it ends up. We created our own images of the kinds of 'rubbish robots' we could use in the ocean and we investigated the kinds of rubbish we had around out school. From there we google mapped out our area, set a date and showed the tamariki how to do EOTC forms for this particular project. Our older tamariki took the lead delegating jobs and making sure everyone was a safe distance from Tangaroa. When we got to our beach, it was thankfully not full of rubbish. We noticed that over a third of it was parts of a plastic garden fencing that was broken up into bits of micro-plastic and stuck in seaweed. We also only found 1 mask which was less than we had predicted. In saying that, we hadn't realised that another local school had gone to our beach a week or so before, so that may have accounted for the lack of rubbish. Which was great anyways, because we were all there for the same thing! We are really greatful to have the opportunity and the gloves we will use in future years when we go to the beach as a school. We will also use the bags again as we plan on going in the summer at the end of the year. Thanks school kit!”
