Testimonials

Wānanga was amazing in regards to recognising our taiao what is produced then turned back as non compostable! Very eye opening indeed!

Paul assessed our situation and tailored his teaching to reflect that. We needed a boost to help our children to be able to sort the food waste properly at the kai table. Kindergarten setting.

Jamie NewmanCentral Kids Kindergarten Huntly West : Wānanga

Our rate of consumption is ridiculously unsustainable. We all felt responsible to ensure that we work with the taiao not against her. Hollie's delivery of the content was well informed and very organic which was enjoyable.

Ahakoa kāore anō tātou kia whakawhakaara ā tātou kaupapa nei, kua tipua te kākano hei whai i te ara para kore mai i te wānanga tuatahi nā reira, he tino hīkaka mātou te kura hei tīmata ā tātou mahi i te wā e heke mai, ki tō kōutou taha.
