What was the community impact of your volunteering project? We had multiple groups doing different things, and all had success. Fundraisers were able to give back a decent amount after their action, our appreciation group contacted and thanked local police and government after the protests right around the corner

What was the community impact of your volunteering project? This part was not as community based as we had hoped due to covid. So we based it around helping out in our kura.

What was the community impact of your volunteering project? We didn't make an impact, due to COVID isolation procedures. We focussed on a care package designed for and by students to increase student wellbeing. We only managed to get to the design and share phase of our project.

“I have loved this unit of learning. It was very specific, and relevant. I would have liked to have more of an opportunity to use the resources more fully, but due to COVID implications we had to adapt it to suit a school community environment and public health requirements.”

“Our students could not participate in the community due to covid restrictions. We used our students to help with moving the books from the resource room to the library. As we are rebuilding our school , there was a need to reorganize some of the rooms . The students have helped us in moving the books and this was our project. Due to Omicorn we had very limited number of students . But the idea of helping and volunteering was well received. My students want to participate in most activities at school.”
