The teams did their mahi in the forest restoration area next to the Waipahīhī Stream at Onslow College on the 17th and 25th February. Dozens of young rakau, wharariki flax and tussock were liberated from the smothering effects of invasive weeds. Tūī, riroriro, pīwakawaka and tauhou regularly make use of the regenerating forest, affirming the biodiversity goals of the project. The growing ngahere is also used by students and teachers as part of Onslow’s curriculum across a range of learning areas. Year 9 Science students use the forest while learning to measure and assess ecological communities and in developing their value of kaitiakitanga for te taiao. conservation johnsonville places secondary education Mon, 04 Mar 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.onslow.school.nz/ngahere-working-bees-restoring-te-taiao/ Onslow College 2024-03-04T00:00:00Z -41.2301052 174.79766106389056 Onslow College, Burma Road, Broadmeadows, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6037, New Zealand https://www.whs.school.nz/weeklywrapup/the-wrap-up-weeks-3-4-term-1-2024/ Experience the energy from Rā Aroha as students signed up to sports and clubs for 2024.

Ranger, Sue Lum notes that “The calibre of applicants was extremely high and it was a privilege to meet such passionate and articulate young people during the interview process.” Gwen and her sister Ursula have established WHS’ first eco group through the Jane Goodall Institute Roots and Shoots program. They have invited speakers to WHS and organized a group of students to attend the Predator Control Workshop at EBIS on Thursday 1st March. Their latest initiative is to reduce and replace the use of wasteful plastic bags through direct action at school and in the community (using Boomerang Bags see below). We are fortunate to have such eco leaders and conservation minded students in our school and whanau. sanctuary conservation secondary education Fri, 02 Mar 2018 00:00:00 GMT http://www.whs.school.nz/weeklywrapup/weekly-wrap-up-term-1-week-5/ Wellington High School 2018-03-02T00:00:00Z -41.3002065 174.77512646827947 Wellington High School, Taranaki Street, Mount Cook, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand http://www.stream.school.nz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=446:ewaste-off-to-the-stadium&catid=35:college-news&Itemid=28 Saturday 6 November 2010: Old computers and computer parts from around Stream were recycled today as part of the national eWaste collection programme. recycling conservation catholic religiousgroups communitygroups secondary education huttvalley places Tue, 09 Nov 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.stream.school.nz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=446:ewaste-off-to-the-stadium&catid=35:college-news&Itemid=28 St Patricks College, Silverstream 2010-11-09T00:00:00Z -41.1445806134277 175.012347778055 St Patricks College Silverstream, Fergusson Drive, Trentham, Upper Hutt, Wellington Region, New Zealand http://www.stream.school.nz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=288:streams-e-waste-is-recycled&catid=35:college-news&Itemid=259 8 September 2009: As part of e-Day 2009, Stream has collected its electronic waste and sent it to be recycled.
