Introducing rangatahi to the possibilities of creating nature-rich suburbs through the science of species translocations, based on transfer and release of tīeke/saddleback into Zealandia.

Developing practical and sustainable solutions to achieving long-term sustainable management of the awa so as to improve social, health, cultural and economic outcomes for the Wainuiomata Community.

What taonga are around us? What are their habitat needs? The students are discovering the range of native species in our local ecosystem, recording and investigating measures to both preserve these species and enhance their habitats.

Tuatinitini Oranga o te Awa - Weaving together the strands to ensure the well-being of the Awa, delivering an innovative multi-faceted project focusing on achieving sustainable solutions for the awa.

Creating marine-based learning environments; Te Kura Moana. This project encapsulates Te Ao Māori, bringing together oral histories, cultural mapping and Mātauranga Māori to explore and inform kaitiakitanga of our oceans

Working with Enviro-schools and whanau to discover which weeds occur in four under-collected areas: Auckland, the ‘Weed capital of the world’, Gisborne, Wellington’s Kapiti Coast and South Island’s West Coast.

Students across all New Zealand are extracting chemicals from their local mānuka trees, which work as natural weedkillers and antibacterials, and then looking at how these chemicals vary between mānuka trees growing in different parts of New Zealand.

Working as and with a range of scientists, engineers and Information and Communication technologists across our regions, Year 9-11 rangatahi engage in an exciting hands-on discovery of science and development of novel innovation.

Schools and community groups work with scientists to plan and implement ground-breaking new research into locating and restoring īnanga (whitebait) spawning areas in five regions throughout New Zealand.

This project will expand the new Whitebait Connection National Īnanga (whitebait) Spawning Programme into early childhood centres and kura kaupapa through developing new resources in Te Reo Māori and Te Whariki curriculum.
