Congratulations Carbon Crunchers

 

Congratulations to our Carbon Crunchers, who along with Mrs Daniel,  presented their work today around Climate Change, to over 80 educators from around Auckland in a Zoom Hui.

 The accolades came thick and fast in the chat and Cate Jessep described their contribution as inspirational. Well done Noah, Yi Fan, Bokai, Peter and Michael (who couldn't make the actual presentation but had put all the work in too). What a great way to share & shine.

Our Pest Trapping Tally

Our Squawk Squad traps, that children fundraised for, have caught 56 pests in The Thames Coast Kiwi Sanctuary. Yippee!

You too can sponsor the Squawk Squad's trapping efforts https://squawksquad.co.nz/

Can you solve the PTA's sustainability query? Sustainable Communities & Respect for the Diversity of People and Culture

We're so lucky at Sunnyhills to have a supportive PTA; hardworking parents who help fund raise for the school, so we can have all the extras that make this such a special place to learn, so I was super eager to help when Kylee Long approached me with a query....

How could we make the school disco more sustainable? Plastic water bottles are easily improved by using drink bottles, but glow sticks are the problem.  They're glowy fun for a few hours and then complete trash - they can't be recycled and contain chemical nasties.

I'm stumped.  What is a sustainable and fun replacement for glow sticks at our next disco?  Comment below if you can help or have other ideas for making our next school event more environmentally friendly.
