Yesterday we had our Enviroschool Silver Reflection day.
First we welcomed the Enviro Facilitators on to our school with a powhiri. It was so wet, we had it in the hall.
Then we came up to the library and introduced ourselves before looking at all the different enviro-related things our school is involved in. (There are heaps – you can see them on our mural outside the library.)
We talked about the enviroschool guiding principles and how everything we do links in really well with the silver paragraph.
Silver Paragraph
We have a clear, shared Whole School Vision and we are working together creatively to make it happen. There are obvious signs of all the Guiding Principles in our school, across all the areas of school life. We have a sense of inter-relatedness/ whanaungatanga in terms of our school, our community and our environment. Our sustainable practices are being kept up and are growing; we are branching into new aspects as well as going deeper with existing ones through student-led enquiry. Students are fully involved in planning and making decisions about actions. We are tracking our progress and can show that more change has happened. Our work has involved lots of people in our school as well as parents, whānau and other community members.
We are really happy to be the first Enviroschool at the Silver stage in Tawa!
