Taniwha “Supernatural creatures – some terrifying, others protective – are legendary in Māori tradition. Known as taniwha, they lurked in watery dens, or in caves, and were often depicted as dragons or serpents, with fiery eyes and lashing tails. Crucial to the stories of deadly taniwha were the heroic slayers, who triumphed with their cunning and courage.”

This time the Climate Action took the shape of an afternoon in the Octagon where different organisations provided information, possible actions, entertainment and food to generate a positive forum for everyone to share ideas and initiatives that everyone can do on a daily basis to have a positive impact on the environment rather than contributing to climate change.

The Enviro club at LPHS is very excited to announce that we were granted over $3000 from the Waste minimisation fund from the DCC this year, to help reduce our waste that goes to landfill.
