Every year Horomaka gets about 45 native trees from Paper4Trees.

This year the Environment Committee teamed up with our groundsman Nick to bring some new plants to old planter boxes around the school. 

The more paper we recycle correctly as a school gets us more free native trees. The kids named their trees strange names like Biggy Cheese and Steve.

The Environment Committee is also really proud of its students like Mia, Charlotte and Rosie who raised hundreds of dollars during the 40 hour famine for the school effort. 

Our leader Sam Dryden has been working with her sister Zoe on a massive project with all kinds of schools and kindergartens around Chch to replant and enhance the Ōpāwaho (Heathcote) River.

Sam Dryden also won the Speaking for the Planet - Sustainable Ōtautahi Chch Speech Competition. Video Link

Students have joined planting days at the Halswell Quarry and have more coming up soon. 

Bea Christie has been educating the Y7/8s about how much of our recycling is containminated and taken to landfills. Sam, Lynnette, Xanthe, Sokneang and Havika have been putting posters around the school to show students what can and can't go in the recycling.
