Surviving – You are not alone - Daytime (Wed)
Wednesday June 11, 2025 1:00pm - 3:30pm NZST
A Hands-On Learning Experience for Educators

In survival scenarios, you’re rarely alone, and this creates both unique challenges and valuable opportunities for growth. Join us for an immersive team-building experience where you’ll collaborate to create a shelter using only the natural resources provided (a perfect way to bring your local curriculum to life!). This challenge will spark your creativity, deepen your collaboration, and add a fun, slightly competitive edge!

Protection is a top priority in wilderness survival, but it’s not as simple as it sounds. While people are naturally inclined to work together, identifying your role within a team dynamic can be tricky. In this experience, you’ll discover how to leverage everyone’s strengths, navigate differences, and find common ground to achieve your goals—skills that are just as valuable in the classroom. The key competencies of Managing Self, Relating to Others, and Participating and Contributing will be at the forefront of this experiential learning activity.

This experience will not only help you build practical survival skills, but will also strengthen your resilience, communication, and problem-solving abilities as kaiako — skills that are essential for supporting your ākonga in developing their own teamwork and resilience, both in and out of the classroom.

As you reflect on how to work together effectively, you’ll gain strategies to help your students:

Enhance their ability to collaborate and work with others
Notice, recognize, and respond to the diverse needs and learning styles of ākonga
Foster whanaungatanga—the building and maintaining of meaningful relationships that create a sense of belonging, shared responsibility, and support within the learning community.
By the end of this experience, you’ll walk away with practical skills and valuable insights you can immediately apply to your teaching practice, helping your students not only survive, but thrive, both in school and in life.

Get Lost! – with us AFTER DARK (Wed)
Wednesday June 11, 2025 6:30pm - 9:00pm NZST
Embark on a Journey of Discovery and Resilience

Get lost with us and unlock your inner strength! We will show you how you deal with the challenges of disorientation and uncertainty. In the face of disorientation and uncertainty, we’ll help you navigate through challenges and make confident, well-informed decisions. With a focus on safety and support, we’ll guide you through the essential priorities of survival and equip you with strategies that will elevate your confidence and resilience.

This hands-on experience is grounded in Te Mātaiaho’s elements of Understand, Know and Do. It is designed to build your personal growth and empower you with practical skills. By the end of the journey, you’ll have the tools to approach challenges like an expert, with a deepened sense of self-awareness, an appreciation for your own strengths, and a stronger connection to te taiao, the natural world.

This immersive adventure is not only engaging, but also highly relevant. The powerful, enduring big ideas are relatable and accessible for both ākonga and kaiako alike. Your newfound knowledge will be highly engaging for your tamariki and easily applied and delivered in a variety of learning contexts. Together, we’ll work through a dynamic and enjoyable experience—one that will boost your confidence, resilience, and appreciation for the world around you.
