Our next steps from the Enviroschool's Green/Gold reflection day were to engage in more community based projects outside of the school environment and to embrace te reo in all aspects of our learning. All teachers are now signed up to take part in pd to improve our te reo next year.
We have been approached by a number of organisations in Taupo Bay to run a student led project to research, cultivate and restore the sand dunes with native grasses starting in 2022. I have had early discussions with Jon Urlich and Troy from the Doteeril protection group about how this may look. I have also spoken to Morag at Enviro schools about funding opprtunities.
The scale of this project means a shift in thinking around how we approach it from an enviro group perspective. I hink that we have gone as far as we can with fortnightly activity days. While these will still continue I feel to do the sand dune restoration project properly we need to think about a student led inquiry that has a greater emphasis on curriculum integration.
