Biology Educators of Aotearoa New Zealand (BEANZ) is an incorporated society whose purpose is to support and promote Biology education throughout New Zealand. 

Our focus is on building pedagogy and content knowledge of members through the provision of regular newsletters, regional workshops, resources, website, and scholarships for members to attend relevant conferences, specific projects such as provision of support materials, and the biennial conference, BioLive. 

BEANZ also produces and publishes NCEA Level 3 practice examination papers each year, as well as other materials to support teachers in assessment practices. All professional educators who have an interest in Biology Education in New Zealand are encouraged to become members of BEANZ.

For 2025, if you are not a member and would like access to some of the resources (such as the QAAM internals and or practice exams), please email biologynz@gmail.com directly with your request.
