On Wednesday at 11am our school had an award ceremony where we received our Bronze Award from the Regional Co-ordinator for our services towards our environment. KoolFM announced this over the radio, the Hauraki Herald (Gillian) interviewed students on Tuesday and the Coastal News (Lesley) attended the award ceremony.
We have been working towards this award for about 18 months and some of the work that had to be done was to: set up an Enviro-group which called themselves the All Greens, they had to devise a strategic plan for the future and they had to go through a reflection process to prove they had met the Bronze criteria.
The following people need to be acknowledged for their support of this group – the All Greens themselves, Mr Dyer whose passion and dedication has built up the momentum, the Wharekawa Catchment Care Group, Charlotte Murray and Helen McCabe for spending many Thursday afternoons with the All Greens, Deli our first Enviro-school facilitator, Beccy Dove our second Enviro-school facilitator, Andrea Soames the Regional Co-ordinator and Cliff Olsen from United Water who are a great sponsor of Enviro-schools.
Thank you to Kapa Haka for their welcome and to Whaea Haylee and Whaea Cheyne for their support.
