Enviro Silver Award

Enviroschool

Enviroschools Information

Our school is now a Silver Enviroschool. This happened in 2012 when we reflected as a school, with the help of the Enviroschools Facilitators, on all the work we had done in recent years to work to make our school a sustainable, environmentally aware school. We documented the learning that has taken place and the systems we have put in place and were proud to accept our Silver Status at the final assembly of the year.

In 2013 we were proud to win the Toroa Award at the Conservation Awards. This was for our work on the stream restoration near our school. We worked with the community to clear rubbish and planted the area with native plants. We are hoping the stream will become a healthy habitat and the area a lovely place to visit.

Year 6 Fair

Well done to the Year 6 children who ran a very successful fair raising $688 to go toward purchasing items and paying for postage for the Christmas Boxes for children who live in poorer countries. It was wonderful seeing so many children throughout the school bringing toys and books they no longer needed for the children to sell. It was a great example of recycling and the money will go to help other children. It was AWESOME to see everyone having fun and older children helping younger children. We were AMAZED at how little rubbish there was to pick up afterwards. We are becoming tidy Kiwis!!
