Student Projects

Since 2018, students have been involved in tree planting events across North and South campuss. 

​

This student involvement has led to the growth of the fruit tree orchard and native biodiversity project at North campus

The outdoorclassroom at North campus is a labour of love and decicated teaching. 

The AUT Outdoor Classroom, fronted by Mark Jones, was originally created as a suitable space for students of the Outdoor Education Major in the Bachelor of Sport and Recreation. 

The raised garden beds at North and South campus offer students a hands-on learning expereince to explore nutirtion and sustainabilty. These community and teaching garden beds are used througout the year for various student projects. 

Participating in a hāngi offers students a unique opportunity to connect with Māori culture.

It encourages teamwork and appreciation of the values underpinning tikanga Māori, making it a meaningful and enriching educational experience.

Bachelor of Sport and Recreation students have collaborated with the hospitality team at AUT in the City campus to grow and create food items. From the rooftop garden to the cafe downstairs, students learned about the art of fermentation in making kimichi and pickles.

Oke charity provide Kiwi kids the opportunity to learn life and social skills by introducing productive gardens into schools.  
We have had the pleasure to collaborate with Oke on garden projects, providing our students the opportunity to make an impact in their wider community.
