E3 Wilderness Expeditions
A Rocha has partnered with Scripture Union and Adventure Specialties Trust to run wilderness expeditions where students will be challenged as they travel by foot, bike and raft/canoe, traversing some of the most spectacular and remote areas of Aotearoa New Zealand. Each trip focuses on faith and character formation, conservation, and leadership development. We expect these trips to play a significant role in the development of future Christian leaders who see creation-care as integral to their faith.

Manaaki Ao 'Earthcare' Programme
Together with Raglan Area School, A Rocha Aotearoa NZ and Papa Taiao Earthcare, we created the Manaaki Ao programme in 2017. The program aims to develop NCEA students’ skills in sustainable and ecological actions. Some courses enable students to earn NCEA credits in predator control.
Manaaki Ao is based on a student-led, enquiry-learning and community-based philosophy. Staff, scientists, environmental professionals and community experts will scaffold students’ learning and help them develop concepts and skills focused on kaitiakitanga - environmental sustainability, biodiversity and interdependence, innovation, sustainable actions and leadership. Many of the activities are focused on the maunga – and surrounding ecosystems.
