On Friday the Year 6 students went to a farm in Waimauku to plant the native trees that we have been looking after at Enviro. These trees will help the environment by providing a habitat for insects and birds, and their roots will help to prevent soil from eroding into our waterways. Everyone worked extremely hard and was rewarded with some tasty kai provided by our host Rhonda.
Verran Primary is a small primary school surrounded by reserves in the middle of Birkenhead. Verran Primary School is an Enviro School - winning the National Green Gold Environmental Award in 2004. Children, Staff, Parents and the local community are working at establishing sustainable systems within the school; children lead this - working in their lunch breaks.
