Hi Declan, Sounds like a plan. I'll introduce you to Mark Osborne ( http://wikieducator.org/User:Mosborne01). He is Deputy Principal at Albany Senior High School <http://wikieducator.org/Albany_Senior_High_School> in Auckland. They're doing amazing stuff around open education.
Will send an offline email -- I'm sure Mark will connect you with the Biology folks at the School. Would be great to internationalise these ideas.
