“Really great at motivating children to get involved. The advent of Cyclone Gabrielle this year as it made a real life situation where everyone did their bit to help. Children understood how a collective group of people could have a massive impact. How everyone contributing, no matter how small the action made a huge difference.”

“This is an absolutely amazing kit and we loved the planning stage. However, it was so unfortunate that the retirement home we planned to visit to bring Christmas cheer had a terrible COVID outbreak last year and we were unable to visit. The children still wrote Christmas cards, but the experience of reading to the elderly, making and serving morning tea was unable to happen.”

“We used the SVA schools kit as a tool to help our students plan and prepare for an afternoon helping clean up at the local cemetery after a wild storm. We found it a really useful kit to plan and prepare students for the afternoon. It made life easy as everyone understood what they were required to do on the day. I would highly recommend this kit to anyone who wants students to lead and take responsibility for themselves”

“We have used the SVA Schools kit at our kura before and has been a continuous highlight of the year. We were delayed for our project to come to fruition last year, so we did it at the beginning of this year. We had a beach clean-up with native planting and kai and it was a fantastic effort for our two senior classes!”
