Regional Support 2025
NZASE are offering the following support to the regions:
- Laboratory Safety Standards subscription: review the standards ahead of practical work. You will need a one-off login to get in – email NZASE for this.
- Double Helix subscription: a shared regional subscription to support literacy in science
- Transport to PLD: reasonable transport costs will be covered to attend NZASE PLD for remote or sole charge teachers*
- SciCon grants: PPTA grants are available but we can help with some additional top-up funding for 5x NZASE members. Sole charge teachers and those from the regions will be prioritised.*
- Kai subsidy for regional meetings: everyone likes a free biscuit!*
- Science Badges: We’ll cover the cost of a class set of Science Badges for 10 schools per term. (Schools must be NZASE members for this)
*Teachers will need to apply in advance.
Contact NZASE for more details.
