We are excited to share that Te Kura o te Tauawa Halswell School has been selected to participate in a Transport Pilot organised by the Ministry of Education in partnership with SportNZ and DecarbonEd.

The programme will empower our students with the tools they need to envision and create a low-carbon future. Transport is the beginning of this journey. We will utilise our unique carbon footprint and data collected through the pilot to understand how our staff and students travel to and from school and to consider what transport options we want for the future of our community.

Along with our carbon footprint, the pilot programme will provide data tools to model potential changes, curriculum resources, and a Carbon Neutral School Lead. Fiona Harney will be taking on this new role, she will act as the conduit between Te Kura o te Tauawa and the pilot, ensuring that we are able to get the most from this valuable opportunity.
