“The kit was awesome (as per usual - thank you School Kit people), with wonderful presentation, etc and clear instructions. I have a Y7/8 class, and they found it a bit baby-ish and weren't that engaged. I have sent it through to a younger class level, so that it can be used properly, as it was intended.”

What influence has this kit had in promoting the longevity of water saving habits and what other water related topics did your students come up with? Our students are now reminding each other about refilling their drink bottle to use in the classroom. We refrain from using the drinking fountain at school, as some of the water ends up on the ground which they identified as wasteful. Our students are now staffroom monitors, specifically of the dishwasher, and they won't put the dishwasher on unless it is full. They also leave little reminders for teachers to only use one mug per day, and reuse it whenever possible. https://youtu.be/upRztD8QDOU?si=C-nTSjl44hdS70Zr

“We used this resource to launch our inquiry project on Waitī. It was a beautifully visual way to represent the importance of water conversation and how we, collectively, can help reduce the amount of water we use individually. Our classroom bathroom now has bright artwork around "If it's yellow, let it mellow" and "Give pee a chance". This is our art-ivism.”

“The Water Savers 24 Kit was incredibly helpful for me as a second-year BT. It was a fantastic resource to engage students in thinking about water conservation. The kit offered excellent ideas for saving water, and the students really enjoyed stamping the spaces on the posters and watching them fill up. The visual elements of the kit made it easy to continually remind students to stay focused on their water-saving efforts.”
