Our Network
Currently representing 134 educators from 55 schools and organisations
Bay Science is run by a dedicated team of volunteers, many of whom are full-time science educators at Bay of Plenty schools who generously donate their time and resources.
Our objectives are to:
-
Connect emerging and experienced science educators with local organisations to create opportunities and events where ākonga and whānau can engage with science.
-
Collaborate with organisations such as the Ministry of Education, the New Zealand Qualifications Authority, and regional and national subject associations. We work to organise professional learning and events while advocating for the unique needs of the Bay of Plenty in the context of the Review of Achievement Standards and the New Zealand Curriculum Refresh.
-
Celebrate the achievements of ākonga and kaiako by providing a platform to showcase and share their contributions and successes.
Sign up to receive bulletin and newsletter updates directly to your email. Bay Science operates independently of national and regional subject associations - membership in a subject association is not required to join. While our main focus is on the Bay of Plenty, we are happy to include all science educators from across Aotearoa in order to provide inclusive advocacy and representation.
