Enviro message from Jure and Coco
Last week two of our Year 6 students spoke to the junior syndicate about keeping our environment clean. Both girls had spent several lunchtimes walking around the school picking up various items of rubbish. This concerned them so much that they took in on themselves to speak to the school about this to see if they could make a change. See their presentation below:

Year 6 Trees for Survival Trip 18/05/18
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.
