Ngāti Toa School students keen explorers
- Mountains to Sea Wellington
- When Ngāti Toa School teacher Pearl Freemantle told her students there were seahorses living in the sea near Porirua, they didn’t believe her. “They thought I was doing one of my 'jokes' when I told them seahorses are in our local moana,” says Pearl. “One of the year 6 girls, who I had told when she was a year 2 that we had seahorses locally - and who thought they were a mystical being like a unicorn - was leaping with excitement after snorkelling, as she had seen one!”

Big discoveries at Kaiwharawhara Stream
- Mountains to Sea Wellington
- Wellington East Girls College Year 13 Biology students are scientists making big discoveries and building big action plans! Through their NCEA assessments in 2018, they have been studying the Kaiwharawhara Stream, investigating how changes in the physical characteristics of the waterway are impacting the native fish and invertebrates. Now they are turning science into restoration! They were interested in one site especially, a small tributary of the Kaiwharawhara where it flows from Johnston's Hill in Karori, through the Karori Cemetery and out into the main arm of the Kaiwharawhara at Otari Wilton Bush.
