Silverstream Primary School in Upper Hutt is turning 100 years old this year.
All ex-pupils and staff of the school are warmly invited to attend a weekend of celebrations.
Science in a Van delivers fast paced, high energy science shows! Since 2011, we've been sparking excitement among both staff and students through our enjoyable, cost-effective, and captivating approach to science.
We come to you which means that there's no additional travel costs, recruiting parent helpers or the paperwork that comes with going off-site.
The pricing is simple too and usually works out to $6.50+gst per student.
How will the day look? Here's a sample timetable (this can be adjusted to fit with your bell times):
9am: Science in a Van arrives and sets up
9.45–10.30am: Science Show 1
11.30am–12.15pm: Science Show 2
12.15–12.45pm: Science in a Van packs up and leaves school
Each science show is 45 minutes long and covers the Nature of Science and the scientific process.

A one day conference for those in senior leadership roles: DP’s/APs and team leaders
Research shows that today’s leaders are suffering from poor well-being and mental health issues more so than ever before. Too often, they put the needs of the school or their team before their own needs. Much like airline pre-flight instructions to “put your oxygen mask on first, before helping others,” leaders need to take a similar approach by managing their own well-being first.
You can become role models for your teachers and build stronger team relationships that lead to better health and productivity outcomes.
