A huge thank you to Mitre 10 Mega Rangiora who donated $250 towards the building of our 2 new butterfly gardens in front of Harakeke. A team of children from Harakeke have enjoyed staining the planters and planting them out with some flowers to make them more colourful and the swan plants that we grew from seeds to attract butterflies to our garden. We are looking forward to being able to observe and learn more about butterflies and their life cycles from these soon!
We also have some fabulous new bottle top murals that were created during the Year 5/6 children with the support of Mrs Treacy as part of our REACH programme. They look great and are an awesome way to use the plastic bottle tops!
A big thank you to Lesley Ottey who supported our recent RAKAU market day by providing us with some environmentally friendly ideas including re-useable bags, lunch wraps and recipe books that help prevent food waste.
It has been so exciting to see a team of students and parents working on putting the ideas that we generated over the last 2 terms for a school mural into action. It is really looking a bright and colourful addition to our school environment. Thank you Natalie and Amanda for all your help with this!
