Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them We did good! Most importantly, the children realised that even though we were collected litter where we were, it was saving the wetlands in Stonefields by not allowing it to drift or get blown there. The children at the school in Stonefields had already cleared the wetlands area but we did put part by clearing areas beyond that, that were potentially contributing to the litter around the wetlands.

Which kit components were the most impactful and why? The large poster was very useful even though some parts were not relevant. These parts though helped us to make comparisons with the litter that other classes had collected in other areas.

How many bags of rubbish did your class collect? We collected three bags in total.

How has this kit impacted your class culture toward whenua ora (land wellness) and sustainability? We were already on the path and this has helped us to be actively involved in lad wellness.

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? As a result of the kit and the local walk / litter pick we did, the children wrote meaningful acrostics and we certainly revisit the conversations we had at the time.

What was the most interesting piece of rubbish found and why? There was nothing that stood out as being different but we did notice that more cans and bottles were found on this walk compared to others. it suggested that this is an area where people get together. We did find vape - one of the children thought it was a lighter!

“Everything we needed to start some meaningful conversations with our children. The gloves and the posters were added incentives as we planned our litter pick below our local maunga.”

What was the most interesting piece of rubbish found and why? The dead bird, it had maggots and the kids were disgusted that someone had picked it up and dumped it in a rubbish bag. Also the amount of bottles found in bushes.

“Kia ora, it has been an amazing event to have and to share the resources amongst the students of Riverton Primary Juniors and Seniors. We started with an amazing morning, gathering in separate teams. Our Junior team set off towards the beach entry from our school end and gradually ended up by the Riverton Rugby fields. I met up with them to collect all the rubbish bags, they set off at 9:30 am till 11:45 am, then slowly walked back to school ready for a school music production. The Seniors, however, tracked all the township area and the combined streets of the township. Room 8 my class started towards our Aparima College than the field and eventually we hit a jackpot of rubbish being dumped behind the bushes, collecting two huge bags full, leaving this on the side of the road for pick up later, the other two classrooms, went further to the other end of us and in the middle meeting at a certain point at 11 am at the town park. My students were very annoyed that we had collected that much rubbish and knew that our shellfish and kai moana were at risk of pollution due to rubbish blowing in their hometown, situated near the ocean and estuary. Students were getting honks from drive-bys and praised by the local community. We eventually had morning tea and then ventured off towards the meet-up place by the park, and gathered everyones rubbish collection at the corner of the parking area. We were shocked to see the amount of rubbish dumped for pick up later. A little play at the park and then back to school. After the Music production which started at noon. After the show was completed, I gathered all the classroom Juniors and Seniors to come and see the amount of rubbish they collected out side the hall area and they were even shocked by even more rubbish collected by the Junior classes. This was an eye opener to the staff and parents who were already at the school, who also came to help pack it all up with Room 8 students.”

“This was a wonderful kit but we didn't get out to the ocean because our trip was canceled twice due to the weather. so we filled our water tub up and put sea animals in it with a lot of rubbish in it. We then used tongs to pick out the rubbish. This took some time for them to do as they had to pick small amounts Of rubbish put but they were able to see how big of a job it is to clean up the ocean. the students were engaged and they did enjoy the activity however it would have been better actuallu beeing at the seaside.”
