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!

SPRING FEELING IN THE AIR!!


Thanks to a brilliant line up of designs for our Colgate Park Bench competition.

Reeth Milsom is the lucky winner and will have his design logo with the Maraetai School values inscribed in Maori on the back of the bench with the sailing ship logo.  There was a lot of discussion around the final piece that is at present being put forward to the manufacturers of these seats.

It has been decided a Friendship Bench is the ideal way to incorporate this into the Junior area for new students to enjoy and share with their friends.  Nicky Elmore our Enviroschools facilitator also agrees this is will be most beneficial, seeing it work well in other schools in the area - who also have a Friendship Bench.  Imagine sitting on a lot of recycling oral care waste, it will be fascinating to see!!

The Care Codes are on their way in classrooms.  We suggest putting the finished articles on show for everyone to share and comment on.  Children have amazing ideas and suggestions
