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.

Kind Matters – Term 2 2026

This Term 2 issue of Kind Matters explores the wonderful world of horses. Students will learn fun facts, discover how to care for horses responsibly, and build understanding around kindness and respect for animals.

With a mini quiz competition, hands‑on activities, animal news from across the motu, and the winning artwork from our Term 1 Drawing Competition, it’s a great resource to share with your class or add to your school library.
