Education - School Programmes
“Nau mai haere mai ki Tasman Bay Guardians.”
Learning today, Leading tomorrow
Ko te manu e kai ana i te miro, nōnā te ngahere. Ko te manu e kai ana i te mātauranga, nōnā te ao.
The forest belongs to the bird who feasts on the miro berry, the world belongs to the bird who feasts on education.
This whakataukī (proverb) highlights the transformative power of education. Tasman Bay Guardians believes that empowering and upskilling schools and communities through Mātauranga Māori and Western science is key to engaging and inspiring future generations.
Our education programmes foster a deep connection to te taiao by blending classroom learning with hands-on, inquiry-based experiences in the natural world. We aim to inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and a dedication to the practice of kaitiakitanga. Our programmes are more than just educational—they are a fun, engaging way to connect with the wider community!
