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.
