Outcomes for Students
The initiative may lead to fulfiling the following outcomes for students:

1. Possess a positive attitude towards life and learning. There is a strong correlation between positive mental attitudes and success in school, work and life in general.
2. Set goals and possess the skills needed to achieve them. These are vital life skills for all young people to learn.
3. Succeed and excel, regardless of the odds. It is essential for young people to learn that they must work hard and be determined to succeed. If they have this ethic, they are more likely to be happy and to move on and up in the world.
4. Have pride in their country and the contribution they can make. Having a sense of identity and purpose is vital for people to live a happy life. The vision of a sustainable New Zealand involves everyone in society making a difference. Showing young people that they can make a positive contribution to New Zealand is essential for their sense of purpose.
5. Care for the environment and the community they live in. The NZBCSD emphasises the importance of protecting our environment. It is essential that the next generation has this ethic.
6. Possess an enhanced understanding of the world beyond school. Exposure to other sectors such as business will mean young people will be given the opportunity to witness wider relationships and dynamics. This will help them to develop increased motivation to grasp life's opportunities.
7. Recognise opportunities for future education and employment. Many of the initiatives in this guide provide specific opportunities for young people to experience the working world. This makes learning relevant and gives young people a sense of direction beyond school.
