SPCA's Resources for Schools have been designed for primary and intermediate school teachers looking for innovative resources that provide real life, meaningful contexts for teaching and learning with the New Zealand Curriculum. 

If you’d like to connect with like-minded kaiako and educators, get inspiration, gain support from others, and share what your tamariki have created and learnt, why not join our private Facebook group SPCA NZ Education Community.

Looking for something engaging for tamariki to enjoy towards the end of the year? SPCA’s Learning at Home Booklets are a fun way for students to continue learning about animal welfare through arts and crafts, reading, writing, and even maths.

Children can choose topics they’re passionate about and work at their own pace. There are three sets to choose from, focusing on companion animals, farmed animals, and wild animals, allowing students to select a level that best suits their interests and abilities.

These easy-to-share resources are perfect for families over the summer break and are free to download from both the Teachers’ Portal and SPCA Kids’ Portal.
