A heartfelt thank you to Cate, Baxter, Nick, and Jordan from Enviroschools and Otara Waterways and Lake Trust for their guidance, support, and encouragement as we celebrated our very first Matariki planting day alongside a group of our students and staff.
Their leadership helped create a meaningful and memorable experience – and what a day it was! The weather played its part beautifully, and the boys thoroughly enjoyed being out in nature, connecting with the whenua and giving back to our local environment.
Our creek waterway is looking fantastic thanks to everyone’s efforts. Even the pūkeko were quick to investigate the changes, adding a touch of nature’s own approval to the day! A big thank you to all the junior and senior students who took part on the day.
Ngā mihi nui to all involved – this was a special way to honour Matariki and our shared responsibility as kaitiaki of our environment
