Enviro Roopu

The Enviro Roopu recently planted 10 trees from the Paper4trees: Carbon Reduction Programme. The trees that we planted along the Carrington Walkway were individually chosen by each student. The day’s selection included Totara, Makomako, Hebe and Ake Ake. Our trees stood strong amongst the others once planted, ready for the next visit. The students really enjoyed working in the sun, and hanging out with the others.

As a part of our Social Studies community and environmental awareness activities, Year 9 and 10 students are about to engage in a clean-up initiative around Stratford. This is occurring at the end of term as part of the Keep New Zealand Beautiful Week campaign (http://cleanup.knzb.org.nz).

For future activities in our community, we are seeking donations of native plants eg trees, shrubs and flax (Harakeke). These could be left over riparian plants or ones that you have removed from the garden or fence line. Please contact Miss Sullivan if you are interested in donating or be in some way involved with our Enviro Roopu. Email sj@stratfordhigh.school.nz or phone the school.
