Smart Water have formed a collaboration with Waikato University’s Science Learning Hub to bring you 'Smart Water for Schools'. The fantastic thing about this partnership is that we are utilising and sharing many great resources that have already been created by the likes of Science Hub and Waikato Regional Council.
Modules include:
• Water in nature
• Te Mana o te Wai
• Global water perspectives
• Water in the Waikato
• Water treatment
• Being smart with water
Our Smart Water teaching resources are designed for Y5–8, learning at levels 3–4 of the New Zealand Curriculum. Due to the nature of the modules and the numerous links to extra resources they can be adapted for use at any level. Lessons enable an integrated approach with the ability to cater to various curriculum subjects such as science, technology, English, social sciences, health and maths.

Help inspire your kura/school or kōhanga/early childhood centre take action on climate change. This is a free workshop for teachers and educators interested in rolling out sustainability focussed, climate action, waste reduction programmes in their kura/school or kōhanga/early childhood centre.
Recycling Week (October 16-22) is Aotearoa New Zealand's largest national annual campaign for education on recycling and waste minimisation. The week promotes education and awareness of better recycling habits and ways of contributing to a waste-free future.
Participation is FREE, and self-directed - while we provide ideas, inspiration and information (including access to daily webinars, quizzes and prizes), it's up to you to decide what to implement. The new Educator's Playbook will make participation easy!
Running Recycling Week in your school is an effective way to promote education on waste and recycling to students and staff.
