Earth and Space Science Educators of New Zealand (ESSENZ) is the national subject association supporting and promoting Earth and Space Science (ESS) education, for all NZC year levels.
Mairi Borthwick is the President of ESSENZ. The contact details for Mairi and the rest of the ESSENZ executive committee members, plus the regional representatives, can be found here.
Our aim is to make sure that ESS is well resourced, now and in the future, and that help is available throughout New Zealand. See below for the links to the help that ESSENZ provides and the webinars that we will be recording and posting on a range of topics.
We would like all ESS teachers (no matter how few or many standards you teach) to become members of ESSENZ. Please fill in the form at this link: membership form
