Our staff recently visited two schools (Nukuhou North and Allandale in Whakatāne) and set up some interactive displays with some live freshwater fish and stream invertebrates to assist the students with their current learnings.
Nukuhou North School have been studying freshwater fish and stream health with their local environment and Allandale School were holding their annual Science Fair, so we were invited to participate in that. The kids were very curious and engaged and loved the live displays and hands on learning.

Each year our Summer Assistants have an important role - supporting our teams and completing significant pieces of work throughout the Bay of Plenty.
