Day three highlights!

We had the best day with Ōtūmoetai College, Aquinas College and Tauranga Intermediate!

It was an extra special day having Kylie and Jimi from @wrightfamilyfoundationnz joining us. These tours exist because of the foundation 🫶🏽

Day Two was absolutely amazing! And not just because Jazz was able to find another dog to say hi to!

We were able to spend the day with Rotorua Lakes High School, Mokoia Intermediate & ACG Tauranga as well as pop in to Te Ahuru Mowai Rotorua School for Young Parents. Thanks for letting us come and spend time with you!

Thanks as always to the @wrightfamilyfoundationnz for their support to make our school talks happen

Thank you to @wrightfamilyfoundationnz for making these school talks possible 🫶🏻

Now be noted that if you have a dog at your school Jazz will find it, as evidenced by the last photo 😊

We had the awesome opportunity to spend two days at Pinehill School last week, getting their tamariki excited about their local moana and how they can help protect it! 🐟

The tamariki were incredibly enthusiastic, asked some amazing questions, and really got stuck in. Some even went straight back to their classrooms after our presentations to make posters and write letters to their local MP! 💙

Thanks to the Wright Family Foundation, we’re able to take full-day ocean learning experiences like this into schools around Aotearoa, completely free of charge! 🐙

We’d love to visit your kura in Term 1 next year. If you’d like to book a visit, head to our website or email us at: info@youngoceanexplorers.com by @wrightfamilyfoundationnz
