The ‘Top-up Team’ helps clean, sort and replenish science kits that have been loaned out from our Wellington Branch's kit library (based at Miramar Central School) to local schools from the South coast up to Pukerua Bay.
You don’t need to know anything about science to be a valued volunteer member of our Top-Up Team, but you can’t help but get interested in all the cool activities in these kits and you’ll wish they existed when you were at school!
Volunteers are needed once a fortnight during school terms on Thursday afternoons and/or Friday mornings and/or Friday afternoons. A two hour shift would be most practical, but longer help would be very welcome! It can be a regular thing, or you might be keen to go on a list of just 'now and then' volunteers - either way, we'd love to hear from you!
We're looking for people who:
- want to be part of a small but fun volunteer team making a contribution to Kiwi kids' education
- can confidently read and follow recipes, checklists and instructions
- have good attention to detail and do 'sweat the small stuff'
- aren't afraid to ask for help when they're not sure about something
- care about making everything ‘just right’ so schools receive quality resources
- can lift and move around carrying items of up to 10 kg
- can get themselves to our base at Miramar Central School.
Note: a Police check will be required, since you'd be working on school grounds.

We’re after drivers to deliver and collect science kits that have been loaned out from our kit library (based at Miramar Central School) to schools from the South coast up to Pukerua Bay.
Timings are Thursday mornings and/or Friday mornings and/or Monday mornings once a fortnight, during school terms only. 9-9.30am start, for a 2-3 hour shift maximum (dependent on number of schools and their locations - it could be shorter). We reimburse travel expenses for the delivery/collection route, from our base (at Miramar Central School) and return at 79c/km (reimbursed monthly).
On a delivery/collection morning you’d come first to our base at Miramar Central School, pick up a set of kits in their large plastic tubs (as many as would fit comfortably in your car) and a collapsible hand truck/trolley. Then you’d head out to drop off those kits to the list of schools you’ve been given (they just get dropped at the school office/reception area), usually swapping them out for the kit the school has had for the previous fortnight. Once you’ve done all your deliveries/pick ups, you’d return to base at Miramar Central School to offload all collected kits and the hand truck/trolley.
We're looking for people who:
- want to be part of a small but fun volunteer team making a contribution to Kiwi kids' education
- have a full driver's licence and their own car
- can lift and move boxes of up to 25 kg in and out of their vehicle, and move several boxes of this size at a time on a hand truck
- have a friendly, 'can do' attitude
- are confident driving and following routes which may vary fortnight to fortnight.
Note: a Police check will be required, since you'd be working on school grounds.
