Broadlands School Native Pathway

Written By Kim Manunui

This year we added a new school to our list of schools/ECE centres with KGT native restoration plantings. Broadlands School is number 34 on our list! We were super impressed with the school’s beautiful grounds and awesome tamariki.

At the start of the year Broadlands School applied to us for the Contact Energy Take Action Fund. We funded 100 trees for their school grounds and they planned and prepared the planting site.

Our coordinators, Heidi and Rachel, went along for a day and had a session with each class talking to them about why we do restoration planting. We also spoke to them about some of our unique native species and why they are so special.

A group of 10 students became KGT leaders for the day. After a training session with us, they were able to show all of the other students in the school how to plant, one class at a time. By the last session, they could even teach the students about our unique native plant species. Their leadership skills were incredible! It was great to see tuakana-teina learning taking place and to see the awesome native walkway along the back of the school become established.

We had a fantastic day and hope to be back next year.

Thanks Contact Energy and The Possum for funding the plants for this project.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
