What was the community impact of your volunteering project? We planted trees along the estuary at the local golf course. This also linked in with the Whitbait Connection learning that we were working on. We also worked as a SVA team to raise money for Daffodil Day. Finally we identified jobs that needed doing around the school and work as an SVA to complete these tasks.

What type of project did your class undertake? Project for Those in Need

“The SVA Volunteer Kit was a fantastic resource in assisting with a community service project for Hurunui College. The "Choose your project" guide helped the students break down their ideas and helped them select a realistic project to undertake. The "Build a Team" checklist also assisted them in identifying the team's strengths and where to place individuals. This resulted in a positive project choice of cleaning up the local Hawarden netball courts in preparation for a club day. The project was realistic and achievable in the short timeframe that we had to work with.”
