“I really liked how the students ran the project. We supported them and it was hard not to ";take over"; when we knew a faster or quicker way. At times we had to step in due to time restraints.”

“Room 13 Statistical Rubbish Investigation in our community. Room 13 students worked in teams to not only collect the most rubbish but to categorise each item and create an investigation to identify any patterns within the items collected. Overall, more than 4 big bags of rubbish were obtained and takeaway packaging was the worst offender followed closely behind was plastic packaging. The activity was good for the students to see how much people litter and we need to work to together to make a difference. Many people tooted there hoots and gave us thumbs up for making a difference to our community, which was nice to see. Thank you for this opportunity.”

“This is an awesome resource! The kaupapa of SVA teaches our tamariki to look outwards rather than inwards. The class loved the process and felt like they had true ownership of the project. We had leaders emerge in a range of areas. Art (advertising posters), drama (proposal video for our tumuaki), writing (scripts), maths (budgeting) and so on. 10 out of 10 would recommend.”
