Wairarapa
The Wairarapa branch of House of Science is based in Masterton and services schools in Masterton, Carterton, Greytown, South Wairarapa, Tararua and surrounds. This branch opened its doors in July 2019 thanks to some very motivated locals who drummed up significant sponsorship and volunteer support.

Our House of Science facilitator has worked with us to develop a PLD plan that is based on an instructional coaching model where the facilitator works one-on-one with our kaiako. The professional learning is engaging, contextual and specific to our learning programmes. Teachers continue to build on their pedagogical knowledge and have increased confidence teaching science across the curriculum, making authentic connections with our tamariki, local communities and iwi. This programme has been particularly successful with our Rumaki classes. With the science materials being available in both Te Reo Māori and English, it makes the learning accessible to all our Ākonga.
