We have worked hard to create resources that can be successfully integrated into your lessons, and will help encourage your students to become Water Guardians in a local, national and global sense.
With water as a focus, lessons also discover ideas and foster a connection to the wider environment, science, and social and community-based action.
Schools across Auckland are making the most of our free education programme. We offer fun, engaging, hands-on sessions for primary and intermediate students, so they can learn about all things water, wastewater and their local environment.
Pupils can enjoy our programme through a lively afternoon with our experienced teacher, or we can provide you with a range of comprehensive teaching resources, including our ever-popular DIY Freshwater Detectives™ kit.

We give children the tools and knowledge they need to become proactive community members when it comes to conserving water and improving our environment. They become our smallest water guardians, and often make positive change happen in their home too!
