A one day conference: Growing Creative Young Minds
When teachers think about what excites them or what they are passionate about, we are already on our way to getting our brains to think creatively. This is often what motivates us as educators and brings more fun, innovation and an imaginative approach to the way we teach.
Confirmed speakers include:
Nathan Wallis (Neuroscience and Learning)
Jo Williams - Laingholm School (Creative Maths)
Madeline Collins - (Science)
Rebeccah Smith - Silverdale School (Play-based learning)
Kate Cummings (Footsteps Dance)

Marine reserves, just like National Parks, are protected areas along our coastline. They have lots of benefits including keeping the marine ecosystem strong, protecting cultural values, and much more. With 44 Marine Reserves in NZ there will be one not far from where you live!
The Kapiti Marine Reserve is famous for its blue moki, kingfish, seals, penguins and dolphins. It was one of New Zealand's first, established in 1992.
This trip is an ideal lead-up to Seaweek and will let you see first hand how 25 years of protection have allowed the undersea world to flourish.

In 2018, Keep New Zealand Beautiful (KNZB) launched Kiki Kiwi and friends, as part of the 'Litter Less; programme for students aged 5–11 years old. These litter centric educational resources are based on the adventures of Kiki the Kiwi and his endeavour to stop litterers! They’ve been developed to help 5–11 year olds understand and respond to litter and littering issues.
Your school should have a resource pack and we'd love to see these in use in 2019!
Any questions, feel free to get in touch; email education@knzb.org.nz.
