Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them 'It was fun picking up rubbish so the river and the sea can be clean' -Haidee, 'I liked saving the environment' - Ellie, 'It was good to pick up the rubbish because it's good for our environment and we're helping the world stay clean.' - Noah, 'It's sad seeing all the rubbish around and some animals get stuck in the rubbish.' - Saej, 'I could see the difference after we'd picked up the rubbish. It looked so much better' - Makaia 'It was good we had the gloves or we would have had really dirty hands!' - Amelia

Which kit components were the most impactful and why? The videos were very impactful because they shared information with the students to inform them of why they were going to pick up rubbish. The actual picking up of rubbish on the day was also impactful because they could see the difference after we were done.

How many bags of rubbish did your class collect?

How has this kit impacted your class culture toward whenua ora (land wellness) and sustainability? We already have a Green Team at school that most of my class is a part of. The Green Team picks up rubbish around the school and we've planted native trees too so this kit continued to help reinforce the message we want to put forward that the environment matters and we need to take care of it.

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? My learners are very worried about animals eating or getting stuck in plastic in the ocean. After watching the videos and seeing how many plastic bottles etc rubbish we picked up they are much more aware of the need to use less plastic.

“My class of Year 3/4 students enjoyed all parts of the Sea Cleaners Kit! We've been learning about the Waikato River so the Sea Cleaners kit was a perfect fit for our inquiry. The videos included in the teacher's guide were very informative and enjoyed by the students. They helped students to understand the effects of rubbish being carried down the river to the sea. The social action artworks also made a strong statement to the students. The gloves and rubbish bags were very handy and it was nice not to have to go and get those for our rubbish pick up.”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them 1. Just pick it up - it's not that hard! 2. Think about what you buy and what it will look like if it ends up in our oceans

How many bags of rubbish did your class collect? 4 full ones

How has this kit impacted your class culture toward whenua ora (land wellness) and sustainability? I think this will have a massive impact. Some children have already been back to our beach to gather rubbish. They also noted how much of the rubbish could have initially been recycled

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? That we must change - what we purchase, how we recycle and dispose of our rubbish. And that even if the beach looks clean on the surface, look closer and you will be horrified at what you find.

“Great to have all of the safety equipment required to carry out our beach clean, and enough resource for 2 classes. We were able to gather way too much rubbish, but the real work happened with the categorising and classifying back in class.”

“This kit was fantastic! It was a great set-up for our school-wide inquiry about guardianship. We have completed a beach cleanup and this has also led into a school cleanup. The students were very enthusiastic and loved the hands-on nature of this inquiry learning. They are currently learning more about ocean pollution and ways we can help stop rubbish leading to our water ways!”
