We agree! Rachael is doing great mahi with the Enviro group at Thames High School!
There is always lots going on and many ways that the students can participate - if you think the Enviro group is something your child would be interested in then, tell them to keep an ear out in the notices for meetings or flick us a message and we will pass their details on! ๐Ÿ’š

๐ŸŒฑ Enviroschools Partnership: Shout out to Rachael

We want to acknowledge the fantastic support and mentorship Rachael provides to our student environment leaders. As part of Enviroschools and various other organizationsโ€”including climate summits and Hauraki Plains Environmental eventsโ€”Rachael brings a wealth of sustainability knowledge to our kura.

She has been a massive help with our recent initiatives:
organisations
International Food Festival: Last week, she helped set up the systems to recycle plates and manage food waste effectively.

Daily Support & Planning: She regularly attends our Enviro Group meetings to help our student leaders plan and organise. At last week's food festival, she prepared all the gear and even sourced vouchers and prizes to encourage students to separate their waste.

Community Projects: Last year, she coordinated with our students for a planting day at Parawai School.

Whatโ€™s Next?
Rachael is also helping us plan our upcoming waste audit, managing the booking and providing all the necessary equipment.

Thank you, Rachael, for your practical support, your gear, and for helping our students drive these positive changes! ๐ŸŒ
