“We used this school kit in the senior room (Yr 3-7) to clean up our local waterways, skatepark and garden. The kit was great for reflection on the Christchurch earthquake volunteers and how we can continue this work in our local areas. The equipment and planning was excellent - very much recommend. Students enjoyed the off-site learning too.”

“School Kit is a great resource to have in the classroom, and one that I have used previously in other areas. The SVA kit had tonnes of support available and a well thought out plan. The resource fit well with our overall theme of kindness and making cards for older members of our society. Unfortunately due to lockdown we were not able to fully use this resource but look forward to exploring it further in Term 4. Thank you once again School Kit!”
