A school group in the Sanctuary
A visit to Karori Sanctuary is a special experience. Nowhere else on the mainland are students and teachers able to walk through regenerating forest where rare and endangered wildlife such as little spotted kiwi, tuatara, saddleback, hihi and many others live freely in their natural habitat.
Karori Sanctuary offers a variety of environmental education programmes and supporting resource materials that provide students and teachers with positive and inspiring environmental experiences: in, about and for the environment. We are an LEOTC (Learning Outside the Classroom) provider and have qualified and experienced educators.
Our Education Programme is kindly supported by Contact Energy.
Our programmes, led by experienced educators:
- Offer fun, innovative, hands-on learning experiences both in and out of the classroom
- Are adaptable to teacher and student needs
- Correlate to many of the achievement objectives in the National Curriculum documents
- Allow students to gain knowledge, understanding and skills about many aspects of our unique natural environment
- Provide positive environmental experiences for students and teachers alike.
We offer a range of unique environmental educational programmes and can tailor to your requirements, simply contact us to discuss.
