Springlands School EcoHut!

Proud of what we have done

Springlands School were delighted with the opportunities the Eco Hut Challenge provided for their students and the school community saying that 'the challenge will go down as one of our whole school successes!' 
 
The whole school was involved in the EcoHut Challenge...around 400 students!  
The students that were involved in the initial planning in 2009 moved onto the local intermediate but came back to help lay the foundations for the project to start in 2010. The learning that went on throughout the process was amazingly sophisticated (more on this to come soon!)  
Annie McDonald organised representatives from Marlborough District Council to visit and judge the hut with the experience being incredibly informative for both parties.

  
 

'Thank you for offering such an enterprising and authentic challenge.  It is so cool being a newly judged Green Gold School too!'.  Dona FF on behalf of Springlands students and staff. 

The team at the Enviroschools National Office love this Hut too and are looking forward to posting more photos and stories of the learning that took place...watch this space!

Marlborough's Enviroschools...

...are growing fresh veges by the bucketload!

 
From waste to worm farms and then onto edible gardens, twelve of our Marlborough schools are growing their own produce and eating it every week!

From Zero Waste to Living Living Landscapes, this is the Action Learning Cycle in an Edible Format! Excess produce from schools is given to family members and the local community, so that everyone benefits.

         

Great stuff Marlborough!
