We have been enjoying the fruits of our labour in the garden recently.
The loquat tree has been extremely popular, with its sweet and juicy yellow fruit drawing crowds during break times.
We have also been harvesting lettuce, spinach, celery, snow peas, broccoli, cabbages, beetroots, kale, silverbeet and carrots to share with some of our whanau.
Labour weekend is the traditional time to plant tomatoes in New Zealand, so Whakatōtanga and Tupuranga students have been busy getting our cherry tomato plants into the ground and we can’t wait for a delicious harvest when we get back to school after the summer
holidays. It’s a great time of year for our students to be getting outside and working in the garden!

Enviroschools Principles in action here:
- Empowered Students are enabled to participate in a meaningful way in the life of their early childhood centre or school. Their unique perspectives are valued for the knowledge and insight that they bring, and they are supported to take action for real change.
- The principle of Learning for Sustainability recognises the types of teaching and learning that foster student empowerment, decision-making, action and sustainable outcomes.
