Enviroschools Update


The past few months have been a very busy time for the Enviroschools team as we head into spring.


Visits:

The team has visited Weston and Totara Schools in order to get some ideas of what their Enviroschools are doing and to make connections in the community. The children came away with many ideas and with a great deal of enthusiasm for future projects for St Joseph’s School.


Gardens:

The gardens have been fully weeded thanks to the Year 8’s. New compost has been added to them. We also had a new garden bed built. The team has planted lavender, rosemary, chives and garlic. They have sown carrot seeds and will be sowing bean seeds. The potatoes are being prepared. New word learnt: “chit” as in “chit the potatoes”.


Mrs. Frances-Rees  has also applied for and received funding for our gardens. The Enviroteam surveyed the students in the school and collected ideas of dreams and wishes for our gardens. They then created a dream board after collating all the dreams and wishes, They also incorporated ideas from Weston and Totara School. In the weeks ahead they will be purchasing native plants and planting them to make native  bird and bee friendly areas of our school.


Design A St. Joseph’s Enviroschool Logo:

The competition is open for all students from St. Joseph’s School and closes before the end of term. The person whose design is chosen for our badge will win a gardening set. Please see flyer for more details.

Some things to think about: 

Simple and small enough to fit into a tiny, round badge-shape; Think about the 4 R's 

  • respect for the environment;

  •  reverence for living things; 

  • relationships with the community; 

  • responsibility for our planet. 

  • You are welcome to use the images below for inspiration.
