Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them 1 - When I clean up and plant natives down at the wetlands, I am helping clean up our lakes and rivers also. 2 - There is so much to do! Planting and cleaning up... I only get that now because I understand how what we do now impacts on other people and places (like the Otago Harbour).

What was the most interesting piece of rubbish found and why? Unfortunately, the kids felt that the beer bottles told a story about our locals.

“The Sea Cleaners 23 kit provided us with a range of resources and links that helped us to create deep learning around our pre-existing program. We have an ongoing Wetlands project and the children enjoyed exploring the many ways our local waters feed into streams, rivers, lakes and eventually into the ocean! The kit supported the group in understanding the significant role they have not only as kaitiakitanga in our local area but also that their actions have impact on many (all the way to the ocean). The kit also prompted us to reach out and join other local projects such as the local re-forestration project.”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them "The gloves make sense" - The kids liked the words on the gloves and holding their hands up so others could read the message. "I want to do this again!" - We went to our local awa to collect urbbish, even though we stuck to the path, it was amazing how much rubbish they collected.

How has this kit impacted your class culture toward whenua ora (land wellness) and sustainability?
