Get your students involved and they could WIN an annual pass
Every term we judge the best story, poem or drawing about Staglands Wildlife Reserve that a child sends us and they will win an annual pass. It's a great way to get your students involved either during their visit or afterwards. So they can share with us what they learnt, what their favourite animal is or even a funny experience they may have had while here.
It's important for us that the experience a child has is positive and educational. If you would like to organise a competition specifically for your class then let us know and we can help you to arrange it.
To enter you can either post or email us your student's entries to: Akatarawa Valley, RD2, Upper Hutt or email:wildlife@staglands.co.nz.
When sending in your entries please include the name of your school, the students name, email address and contact phone number.
All entries will be displayed in a special book in our cafe and winners promoted on our website and via our e-newsletter The Stag Rag.
You are welcome to bring some paper & pens and do this in The Barn while visiting, or take some Staglands brochures back with you and get your class to do this after their visit. It's a way of making their visit educational and fun.
Please contact us to discuss this further.
Children's Activity Sheet
We have an activity sheet for children which includes a dot-to-dot, find-a-word, a secret code puzzle and a maze, which children are welcome to complete while here or even before their visit. It's a great way to keep them busy & entertained during their visit.

Staglands Treasure Hunt
During your visit your students are welcome to complete our Treasure Hunt Map. The map includes a grid and a series of clues that the children need to answer as they walk through the park.
If you would like us to also arrange a prize specifically for your school group then contact us to discuss this further, as we're more than happy to work with you in ensuring your visit is a hands on learning experience.

How can we help you?
If you have an idea of how Staglands could help you and your classroom with a hands-on learning experience (either during their visit or in your school) and ways that we can work in with you and your curriculum then please feel free to contact us.
It may involve a talk about birds in which we could have one of our birds available to touch, or a talk on native fauna, or a talk on New Zealands KuneKune pig in which one of our KuneKune's could be on a lead for your students to touch and learn about. Any idea you have let us know.
We're always happy to 'think outside the square' and help our local communities where we can!
