An amazing resource that we feel very lucky to be able to access. Our whole school of 170 students uses each kit when booked.

Tikorangi School
My class really enjoyed using this kit. I opened it up and had different learning stations after teaching the activity cards. It was fantastic to hear the students’ Te Reo Maori increase.

Foxton Beach School
Our Tamariki love these resources and their engagement has amazed me. The kits cover the curriculum and make it so easy to use. I’m learning so much as well. The information our Tamariki retain and pass onto their matua is a beautiful experience to witness. I so wish we had this when I was at school
Who's been there?
Viv Hoeta
Ngatirangi School
This kit was amazing! The students particularly loved the activity of investigating the white powder – it was the most engaging activity. All the students enjoyed it and it made them feel like forensic scientists. The teacher manual was also super helpful. I liked that there were many student packs available as well as the binded booklets (I gave out one per group).

The kit was a fantastic resource that made it really easy to deliver this unit. I loved using it and will definitely be keen to use more kits next year.
