WHAT IS AN ENVIROMENTAL GROUP?
An environmental group is a group of students and adults that get together once a week to discuss what is going to happen around the school gardens to make them more attractive.
Once a year some representatives come and look at each school to decide if the school is good enough to win a special award which is bronze, silver or green-gold.
We have an environmental group to improve the school's gardens and native areas. The environmental group plan projects and achieve them successfully with the help of teachers and adults. Last year Papakura Normal School won the bronze award for having wonderful murals and a bell tower.
