ABOUT RŪNĀ

RŪNĀ supports kiwi kids to learn from the past to ‘steer’ toward a sustainable future. RŪNĀ involves three modules:

​

  • Kōrinorino  – Our Ancestors' Wake (Te Ao Tangata | Social Sciences and Aotearoa New Zealand Histories - focuses on understanding local settlement stories).

  • Kōkōkaha – Powered by Wind (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths - focuses on designing sustainable energy solutions).

  • Moanamana – NZL’s Blue Belt (Science and Education for Sustainability - focuses on restoring marine ecosystems).

​

Each module is made up of in-classroom learning experiences delivered by teachers, supported by a sailing experience, and followed by a call for learners to take action. Each module is designed for students in years 4 through to 10 but can be easily adapted for older or younger children.

​

Each module includes opportunities to develop water skills for life and safer boating skills to ensure kiwi kids learn and develop the knowledge and skills to safely enjoy our marine environment.
