Student Leadership Teams 2023

Written By Kim Manunui

This year we have 107 students on our Student Leadership Teams! They are aged 7-18 and come from many different local schools. The teams are extra-curricular and meet outside of school time. We provide opportunities for the students to connect with nature, engage in real restoration/conservation work, learn from experts, learn leadership skills and much more.

We started the year with a day of activities at Spa Park. The students got to learn about the projects that previous teams had taken on there, follow the Kiwi Guardian Adventure map, learn about introduced predators and play ecological bullrush, play disc golf with Ahere and Kynan from Taupo Disc Golf, build huts with Andrea from Blue Light Taupo, do a huge hill roll, learn about our unique endemic plants, and even have an ice cream.

It was a huge day of adventure, fun, team-bonding, and learning!

These students will lead the community planting days and also take the lead on KGT projects in their schools. They take on all kinds of roles with KGT, everything from presenting to council and showing visitors around, to cooking the BBQ and running the registration desk at planting days.
Thank you to all of the parents and community organisations who support this group to allow these opportunities to happen. 💚

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.
