Energy Saving Win for Bluestone

Ian Poulter —

The result of a local energy saving competition involving TBHS, TGHS, and Bluestone has been declared.

Thanks to the wonderful efforts of students and staff, Bluestone has won first place in the local energy saving competition organised by NZ EECA. Power usage has been measured over a term and then a two week focused effort is used to compare. Our Power Rangers under the guidance and support of Nikki Geddis ensured that all classrooms were making maximum efforts to conserve energy. Gaining the greatest savings resulted in us being awarded $650 of prize money. By simply turning off lights and heaters when classes are outside or when doors and windows are open can make huge power savings both at school and at home. A little effort by everyone reaps great results.
