More about Enviroschools

The growth of Enviroschools/Kura Taiao has amazed those of us who began developing the programme in the 1990’s. What began as a small Hamilton project has become a nationwide network, and now the work of schools and students is attracting international attention.

The kaupapa of Enviroschools/Kura Taiao is about the well-being of the whole school, community and eco-system. It’s about working out how to live so that our society and economy nourishes the natural systems that give us life. Young people have an abundance of energy and ideas—and they want to explore real-life challenges—Enviroschools gives them that chance.

“Enviroschools empowers young New Zealanders with knowledge, practical skills, and a real sense of belonging to this land. It’s great to see Good magazine getting behind this innovative programme” –Anton Oliver

Good magazine

It’s great to see students come alive when they are investigating real issues, experimenting, debating viewpoints, making group decisions, and then taking action and experiencing the changes. We see young people in schools and kura excited by this kind of learning because it has a purpose, it has challenge, they can be creative and heroic—they can make a difference.

The difference that these rangatahi are making in their schools and communities is possible because of the partnerships and trust built up between many people and organisations. The partnership between Te Mauri Tau and the Enviroschools Foundation creates a bi-cultural base from which to work in our diverse communities. Local government and community organisations work together, to create strong regional networks. Enviroschools facilitators have deep relationships with teachers and schools, to support real-life learning that enables young people to change themselves and their world.

Schools in the network are doing amazing things, and they are sharing their stories with each other so that all our young people have the opportunity to be citizens, entrepreneurs and community leaders. We applaud the leadership being shown by these schools. They are supporting a new generation of change-makers and leading action for healthy, vibrant, kura, schools and communities throughout New Zealand.
