Kōwhai had a fantastic time at the Island Bay Marine Education Centre.

The children enjoyed having a hands on exploration of the rock pools. They found lots of crabs, a few shrimp and some sea snails. Inside the bait house they could hold cushion starfish, snake starfish, and sea cucumbers. It was an amazing experience for our Tamariki. This also taught our Tamariki to be kaitiaki/guardians for our environment.
