These maps can be used in a number of ways to benefit both the teachers, students and whānau within your school.

For example:

  1. Knowing the local facilities and parks/playgrounds in your area when planning for EOTC or activities outside of the school grounds.
  2. Help with meeting the requirements around Strand D: Healthy Communities and Environments.
  3. Schools’ engagement with local clubs- having a quick link guide without having to do all of the research yourselves.
  4. Sharing information from the map with whānau and students about the closest club they are interested in or if they want to know what activities their children could get involved in.
  5. Sharing the map with new whānau to the area so they can get a good sense of the layout of the land within their community.
  6. Show to whānau at community evenings- letting them know what’s out there.
