Pupils in New Zealand can now learn about the long-term impact of the grounding and break-up of the containership Rena.

The vessel got stuck on Astrolabe reef near Tauranga in 2011, causing an oil spill and splitting in two.

Now students in years four to eight can study the article “What Now For The Rena?" as part of the ministry of education’s Connected series exploring science, maths and technology.
