Whaka Inaka

During Term 1 Groups of children have been visiting the Heathcote River to be involved in the Whaka Inaka Saving the Whitebait Project.  The Students have had a hands on opportunity to be young scientists by making observations of pest activity, changing bait cards,  checking the bale condition and adding data to a survey.  It's been great fun learning about the lifecycle of the White bait species and being part of the project to ensure the survival of the tiny fish for future generations.
Thank You to all the parents that have come along to assist with transporting the children and supervise.
We are near the end of the project and have visits on the last Friday of the holidays and week 1 and 2.
