Tasman Nelson Environment Award


We were very excited to win the Tasman Nelson Environment Award for 2009. This year has been a very busy year for all the students involved in enviro activities.
Rooms 1 and 7 have been making GOOS pads all year.
Room 7 has collected food scraps every lunch time and added them to our bokashi and for Poppy the pig.
Room 6 collects the food scraps from the staffroom and adds them to the bokashi.
Senior students have regularly monitored Poorman Stream.
Other senior students planted out 100 natives along Poorman Stream.
Room 16 have feed and watered our worm farm all year.
The whole school entered the Waste Challenge and made amazing art from food rubbish.
Year 5's are well on the way in planning their ecohut- Whare Takiwa.
Room 10 has planted the herb garden.
Next year we have a new garden planned where children can play in the native plants.
