Resources for Schools

We’re looking for teachers to join our new Teacher Advisory Group and tell us how our resources work in real classrooms. Your feedback will help keep them practical, engaging and relevant for ākonga across Aotearoa.

As a member, you might test new resources with your class, share student feedback, take part in short online surveys or focus groups, and suggest ways to make our resources easier to use and more accessible. You choose what you’d like to be involved in.

Participation is voluntary and flexible. We know teachers are busy, so you can contribute as much or as little as suits you.

The Kind Matters Kids’ Photography Competition is here! This year’s theme is ‘Animals Loving Life’, and we’re eager to see the wonderful photos your ākonga will capture of animals experiencing positive wellbeing. Please encourage your students to get creative and submit their entries.

Download the latest issue of Kind Matters for photography tips and information about positive animal wellbeing. You can also print the competition poster for your classroom or staffroom to help spread the word.

There are some fantastic prizes up for grabs too, thanks to our friends at PB Tech! To enter, and for Terms and Conditions, visit the Kids’ Portal!

Competition Closed, thank you for all your entries!

Explore our new Maths Task Cards, designed to engage students with real-life animal guardianship contexts while strengthening key maths skills. Aligned by curriculum phase and year level, each set includes 20 task cards: 10 blue cards for Number and Algebra, 5 green cards for Statistics and Probability, and 5 red cards for Geometry and Measurement.

Each card features a word problem, with an animal welfare reminder that reinforces responsible animal care. On the reverse side, students and teachers will find step-by-step solution guidance, the correct answer, and extension questions to deepen thinking and support independent, group, or whole-class learning.
