“I have use Water Savers as a way of impressing onmy studetn the importance of being aware of why, what for and how they use water in their daily lives. We have explored the potential impacts on our water from various natural disasters and irrigation. I was impressed with my students critical thinking how they can contribute to the preservation of our clean water sources and what they are going to do to make others aware.”

“The students enjoyed the gift bags with the reminds, stickers etc. They also were engaged in stamping the water saving actions. More clarity around when to stamp would have been good - e.g., for the juice vs water, do they only stamp if they've had the option to drink juice, and chosen water instead. The display was a little large - many classrooms don't have so much free wall space!”

“The water savers kit is a great way to get students to think about what they are already doing and things that they could change. They are very involved and excited. It can take a while to set up the display and it takes up quite a lot of space in the classroom”

“Students were very excited to receive the physical prompts to help them conserve water at home. The display posters were great, and added a visual element to something (water conservation) which is hard to visualise for younger students. It would be great to have some resources for students undertaking their own water conservation inquiry project. Data sheets etc.”

“The water saver kit was great, but what I hadnt realised was that is was a little less 'useful' at a rural country school where all the ākonga are on water restrictions and are superstars at saving water! But we still had lots of great discussions and explored ways to save even more water.”

“The learning content for the classroom was fantastic, robust discussions and learning about the water cycle and saving water. I found that I had little or NO buy in from home and it was extremely difficult to get any information back to track things. I felt that I had failed somewhat, however, the discussions and learning in the classroom hopefully made up for this.”
