Ambassador Gwen Palmer-Steeds

Gwen Palmer – Steeds  is one of only six students from the Wellington Region to be selected by Zealandia for the Senior Ambassador Programme. 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.</description>
