Education at Kaipatiki Environment Centre

Environmental education is an integral part of the Kaipatiki Project's work.  
Kaipatiki offers a range of  high quality adult courses, support for schools and information on a broad range of environmental topics, for adults and children.
Our objective is to provide people with the knowledge and tools they need  to live sustainably.  
Education at the Kaipatiki Project Environment Centre is very hands-on with students spending time outdoors and in the education centre. Make sure you check out the "What's on at Kaipatiki" page.

Schools

We provide a range of environmental programmes for school children and can tailor make sessions for primary, intermediate and high schools on environmental topics in line with the new curriculum. Our more popular topics are included on our brochure:

We are currently developing a programme for Kindergartens.

All our programmes are interactive, hands-on sessions.

Programmes can be held at your school, the centre or an outdoors location (eg mangrove).

Cost is $2 per child (+gst and fuel). There is an alternative ecological payment option which can be discussed with the education coordinator.
