Scoot to School Day


Lots of fun scooting at lunchtime today.  Andy from Auckland Transport was there to check on scooting skills and help out with tips.

Supporting Squawk Squad - We've trapped 20 pests!

The Senior kids at Sunnyhills were set the challenge to use what they've learnt in their enviro lessons this year to create a project that helps nature.

One group planned and ran their own food stalls over two days to raise money for The Squawk Squad. They raised $164.70, that we'll use to fund a trap to help save our native birds. 

Sunnyhills School already has one trap we raised money for last year, and the kids love watching the tally displayed in the hall going up. 

Our trap has caught 20 invasive pests! That's a lot of kiwi chicks being made safer in their natural hime.

Room Tekau Eat Strawberries

Our new bird netting is working a treat; everyone in Room 10 each got a ripe red strawberry today.





We're using the 5+ADay Resource to learn about growing food and healthy eating.

Enviroschools Celebration 2018


The Enviroschools Celebration closed out an amazing year for Education For Sustainability at Sunnyhills. The learners who represented our school did an amazing job of sharing our action learning with the other schools, councillors, facilitators and local board members. We loved seeing what other schools and ECE's have been up to as well.

In addition, the celebration was a wonderful opportunity for Mrs Daniel, Mrs Venville and Mrs Driver to network and reflect with fellow educators and community contacts.

It was a really proud moment officially receiving our GreenGold Enviroschools Certificate.
