Springtime Class Gardens

Growing Time in the Nursery

There's lots of growth to be seen as you walk around the nursery. The potato buckets are looking good- so are the potato plants in the tyre gardens outside the nursery.

Giant Care Code Pencils

We are loving the giant care code pencils! They are colourful and fun and definitely improve our environment. The pencils were a 2013 student House Leader project.

The school budgies and canaries have been very busy! We need to be thinking about what we will do with the new birds... Big thanks to Room N for looking after the canary aviary and to Room C for looking after the budgie aviary and to Mr Harber for being in charge!

Sustainable School Award 2014

Mr Parker and Mrs Clark came to a school assembly to officially present our school award and prize of $2,000.00. Molly responded with thanks from all of us.

Keep New Zealand Beautiful Clean Up Week

Our Clean Up was a week late due to our school production being on the actual week of the nationwide Clean Up. The Envirokids cleaned up Victoria Park and The Green Team cleaned up the Uenuku Walkway which had very little waste,and the Makino Pools park. We collected 6 full rubbish bags of litter. Quite shocking!
