Waste!

Last Wednesday Sarah from the Environment Centre came to Central School to help us with an action plan to follow our waste audit.

During her visit we were able to determine where we needed to start on our waste management journey. We have really seen how much work is involved for us to get where we want to be. We have many great ideas and have now put some plans in place and have already actioned some of these.

We have written letters to the appropriate people asking for permission to put in our compost bins and garden boxes and have also made some applications for funding. We have also put notices in the school newsletter asking for donations of man power and wooden pallets for the construction.

We are really excited about the next steps in our project!  If you feel like you can help us in anyway we would love to hear from you.

Stream Restoration on Alton Street

During the last week of term 2 Nelson Central School walked down to the stream on Alton Street and Manuku Street to plant trees on the side of the stream. The trees were donated by Nelmac and Liz Gavin designed the area map and suggested what type of trees we should plant. By planting all of the trees we are helping the stream and all the living things that live in the stream. Thanks for everything you done.

Tree Planting for Wildlife Habitats in Schools

As you know over the past few weeks we have been working towards creating cleaner better habitats for our native wild life at NCS. We were donated some plants and have been planting different shrubs and grasses. These are all parts of the NCS vision for the future. We hope to bring back all sorts of animals such as birds , geckos , skinks, insects and butterfly’s to our school grounds.

Thank you for participating  in these events and we hope we will do lots more in the future.

Thanks again
