Apiti School is the third school in our region to achieve a Green Gold Enviroschools Award-congratulations!
During the Green Gold reflection process students took the assessing team on a tour of the school that included a recycling centre, group gardens, a nursery, hydroponics greenhouse and handmade weta motels! The school has adpoted a native bush area just down the road where they have done significant possum and stoat trapping, have made and placed weta motels and completed native plantings.
Apiti School also has a great partnership with the Department of Conservation and 'Jock from DOC' has been a huge help with the learning and action components of the native bush project in particular.
Find out more about Apiti School through their wikispace blogspot and online school newsletter here!
