High Schools
The Gump Station and Atitia center welcomes high schools from Tahiti (photo immediately below) and Moorea.
In 2005, for example, undergraduates from the UC Berkeley field course presented the results of their projects to students from the nearby Opunohu Agriculture High School.
The result was an excellent exchange between American and Polynesian students.
The learning experience was in both directions - with guidance from UC professors, Opunohu school teachers, community elders and members of the Association Te Pu Atitia.
In addition to the biological topics of common interests, the students got to practice their English, French and Tahitian.
