What does Tiaki mean to you?
9 South Auckland Secondary Schools have been innovating to local environmental issues we face every day. Simply, because they believe Tiaki is about being a guardian of the environment!
Come and watch each school present their innovations to the public at the FREE Tiaki Green Careers Expo on Friday 10 August 2018 at the Vodafone Events Centre in Manukau.
Interested in a green career? The Tiaki Expo will also host tertiary providers, presentations and environmental and STEM industry organisations, each with hands-on activities and information about green careers.
If your school or group is able to fill a bus, we will cover the costs for return transport. Email me at Nicole.stanton@mbct.org.nz
See you there!

Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
