Reflection+statement

Our Green-gold reflection day was on 7 September, 2010 and we got Green Gold.

After getting our award we reflected again on why in relation to the guiding principles - here is our statement.

We are a Green Gold because:

The five guiding principles and the four ‘Ps’ can be seen through the school’s growing VISION. Our vision map has three parts - our goals, projects in progress and projects completed. These ideas come from the children and are being reviewed each year.

Our practices are sustainable and these practices help our learning for life. We are supported by a wonderful community and we all work together as a team. Some sustainable practices like waste management, compost bins, worm bins, monitoring water usage etc are helping towards saving money and precious resources.

We show respect to Tikanga Maori, the people of the land and our Tupuna who are our guardians. The students worked together and participated towards a common goal to create a sustainable community. We will continue to pass on our knowledge to help future generations.

To sum up we will be continuing to work hard to maintain, sustain and grow all that it means to be a Green-Gold school.
