“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.”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them " I love the gloves as they make me feel like all official, like an ocean cleanup scientist." " This field trip wasn't that fun, I mean we were just picking up and sorting rubbish, but at least I feel like I'm making a difference." "The thought of plastics ending up in a turtles tummy really makes me think about putting rubbish in the bin."

Which kit components were the most impactful and why? The posters of sea creatures and creating the artworks using the rubbish we collected really brought home the impact our actions are having on sea life. The gloves are still being used by our kids and made them feel really important. The bags were also great in giving the kids an overall sense that what they were doing was really important. That they were teaming up with a huge organisation that is teally making a difference. The video message addressing the school kids from the Sea Cleaners founder was also very powerful.

What was the most interesting piece of rubbish found and why? Whole bicycle wheel just dumped at edge of river, and loads of plastic lollipop sticks in and around park.

“Sea Cleaners was an awesome basis for our term 3 inquiry. The kids loved being a part of something bigger than themselves. Knowing that their clean up efforts were contributing to the wider joint efforts of the Sea Cleaners team and thousands of other children around NZ really gave them a real sense of purpose. We explored the many waterways that surround our school and the endangered Tuna that live in them. We mapped our waterways to the coast and performed a number of small local clean ups as well as a whole syndicate waterway clean up of two of our major reserves/waterways. The analysis of the rubbish that followed formed the basis of our statstics unit, and we still have children voluntarily pickibg up rubbish with their friends in the weekends and during lunch time at school.”

“The Sea Cleaners kit is as great . The gloves and bags provided which were not only recyclable but very heavy duty, made the whole rubbish collection easy. We were able to conduct lots of science and social science experiments at school about the effects of rubbish in our community. This was then followed by an amazing EOTC adventure to the beach to show how we can all make a difference. Using the kit to support our classification of the rubbish helped the students understand where rubbish had come from and the danger to our environment. Finally, the artwork we were able to produce using the kit helped us get the message to others about how important it is to pick up rubbish.”
