Ngā mihi nui to our two extraordinary environment groups at WBHS and WGHS who got together on Wednesday afternoon to do their part for papatuanuku.
The weather was super nice as we shuffled across Milford Beach scavenging for any leftover plastic bits and bottle caps. We filled up our paper bags reasonably but not to the brim because the beaches were already fairly clean. We are very proud of our community for taking care of the beaches. However, we are also very proud of the students and teachers who carved out some time in their day to give back to the Earth.
When picking up rubbish, we made sure to stay eco-conscious by seperating recyclable bits to non-recyclable bits. All the plastic gloves used were recycled in soft-plastic too!
It was very special and we loved doing our part for papatuanuku.
If you’re interested in these environmental events, make sure to look out for future gatherings us friendly Enviro Prefects have planned. These include beach clean-ups, tree planting, and a summer clothes swap next term!
“If not us, then who!”
