We did a trip to Wenderholm Beach and used the gloves to collect rubbish which was fabulous to implement the learning we have been doing around looking after our environment. Thank you School Kit once again for providing kits for our tamariki!”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them Mya says " each class, in the afternoon, should go and pick up rubbish", Levi says "don't buy un-recyclable plastic". Lucas says " put your chips into a container (rather than buying the small bags of chips" Khanella wonders "how much rubbish could fit in an animal before it dies?"

Which kit components were the most impactful and why? The way it was structured so that each class doing it could do it in their own way. I also like that the rubbish bags were paper, not plastic!

How many bags of rubbish did your class collect? We (2 classes) did 2 trips, no full bags, however on trip number 1 we collected 677 pieces of rubbish and trip #2 we collected 757 pieces of rubbish!

How has this kit impacted your class culture toward whenua ora (land wellness) and sustainability? Yes I think so, as we did this kit at the end of the year, we haven't put new things in place with our 2023 classes, however we both are keeping some of our 2023 students in 2024 so I know we will carry this mahi over into the new year with our new classes. We (teachers) are going to set up a recycling station in the staffroom which we will take to our local recycling centre when it needs emptying. I would like to implement a once a week rubbish tidy around the school.

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? More aware of their rubbish consumption, and hopefully talk to their whānau about how they can reduce this in their home. Students being more careful to make sure their rubbish makes it into a bin, so that it is not blowing around. Picking up rubbish when they see it. We are also beginning our enviro schools journey so this links to that as well.

What was the latitude and longitude of your clean up? (from Sea Cleaners poster) -41.32247032256194, 173.23272658721243 (for one of our clean ups, to be fair most of the rubbish collected was from the streets leading to this park)

What was your cleanup location type? Reserve, Other

Which of the following types did your class collect? Plastic Bottles, Food Wrappers, Straws, Household Waste

What was the most interesting piece of rubbish found and why? A child's stroller just dumped at the park. It was totally munted, but wasn't even left near a bin, just dumped in the middle of the park!

“This kit was great, while we (my buddy class and mine) left it late to get started, once we got into it, it was awesome. It was a great opportunity to learn about our local area (me as much as the tamariki in our classes) and get out and about on a couple of trips! We used the teacher guide as a rough tool to get us started so it was great to have the mahi and ideas in there as a leaping off point. My apologies that I have missed the cut off date for this review, I didn't check emails in the last week of school! Naughty me!”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them 1. I pick up rubbish on the way to school with my mum so the birds don't eat the plastic and die. 2.

They were super engaged in every session, enjoyed wearing the gloves and going to the local reserve and pick up all the rubbish knowing they were helping make a difference.”
