Stanhope Road School is now officially an Enviroschool and we are very excited to begin our Enviroschools journey. Please see below and visit http://www.enviroschools.org.nz/ for more information. Enviroschools is an action-based education programme where young people plan, design and implement sustainability projects and become catalysts for change in their families, and within the wider New Zealand community. Enviroschools engages with children, young people and their communities through the formal education system of early childhood education (ECE) centres, primary and secondary schools. Built on a collaborative organisational model, Enviroschools is supported by a network of over 90 agencies, with councils making up the core of the network. The programme operates nationwide and is supported by 16 Regional Coordinators and over 120 Facilitators. Enviroschools was launched as a nationally available programme in 2001. Since then the network has continued to grow and expand.
