All About Us

We are the enviro group at Maraetai Beach School. We meet every Friday at lunchtimes and sometimes during school time. This year we are focussing on finishing off or looking after our previous years projects. Our orchard is planted, our chooks have a home and our enviro gardens are ready for vegetables!

COLGATE ORAL WASTE RECYCLING



Congratulations are in order for our school on winning the Colgate Park Bench for the school.

The Enviro Team Leader - Mrs McNab received a phone call on Wednesday morning from Emily, the HR personnel from Colgate to say we have been the lucky receipients of a 1.5m Park Bench, and we are able to design the back of the seat to customise it to however we want it to look like!!  

Well done to Room 11 and 2 in particular who have sent in hundreds of items, and will be the first classes to sit on our royal 'Friendship Bench'.  

The bench will sit somewhere around the Junior area of the playground and will be made in the colour of the school's Blue.  A competition is in progress for the design and this will be sent off next week to be received by 12 August.  From then on in, we will wait 6-8 weeks for it to be made.  Imagine sitting on one of many thousand pieces of recycled waste!!  Awesome.
