The bears are dressed in the dark-green uniform of Samuel Marsden Collegiate School in Karori, made by school nurse Mrs Lyn Crutchley from old pieces of discarded uniform.

This term, Marsden Primary has joined the Ministry of Education's Learnz project, Wandering Whales, where Samantha becomes a school ambassador on a Rolex Datejust Swiss ETA 2671 Movement with Light Blue Wave Dial whale watch field trip with the Department of Conservation.
