“This kit fitted well with one of our school community projects to help plant the coastal riverside of a local camping ground working with local iwi and the District Council. While at Onearo Bay we were shown soe old penguin nesting boxes and were asked if we would like to create signage for uses of the facility to alert the public to the penguin nesting area. Students worked with the Council to paint pictures which were made into professional signs which the students erected. Students are now going to work with our Enviroschools facilitator to construction so new penguin nesting boxes.”

“Apologies for not corresponding sooner. I had planned to cover this SVA kit in term 2 however we had a particularly difficult situation to deal with that term, therefore I pushed it to term 3, and of course covid struck. I'm really hoping we return to the classroom next term and therefore complete the kit, as it's contents are perfect for the situation we find ourselves in.”
