What we do
We look for opportunities to work together or match schools and teachers with the best programme for their learning journey.
Our first priority is getting to know each other and what we do. In 2023 we are focussing on letting teachers know about the environmental education opportunities.
Collaborating through Kahui Ako hui, and networking to inform learning centres of events, opportunities and experiences. A Green Drinks event is scheduled for Novemeber. In 2024 we will be promoting professional learning opportunities and events for sharing and connecting.
