Organisers are hoping up to 300 tamariki will attend one of a series of fun-filled Seaweek-themed Enviroschools Encounter events being held around the region.
Seaweek - Kaupapa Moana was New Zealand’s annual national week celebrating the sea. It took place from March 5 - 13 and was nationally co-ordinated by the Sir Peter Blake Marine Education and Recreation Centre (Merc).
Northland Regional Council chairwoman Tui Shortland said in Northland, Seaweek would be marked with a series of encounters for youngsters organised by Enviroschools.
NRC introduced the popular Enviroschools programme to Northland in 2004, where there are now more than 140 schools, kindergartens and early childhood centres in the programme region-wide.
The free Far North encounters for Year 4 to Year 8 students will run from 9am to 3pm and take place at Taipa Beach Resort on Friday, April 28.
