Streamside Education a hit with Porirua schools

A programme giving schools the opportunity to learn more about their local natural environment and the importance of healthy waterways is proving popular.

The Streamside Education programme, run by Porirua City Council Parks Education Advisor Natalie Packer, is flexible and can support what students are learning in the classroom.

Since launching the programme in 2023, Natalie has worked with students of all ages from across Porirua.
