Overwintering Butterflies
Our school contributed to this art display in Auckland by sending over 100 coloured butterflies. It was at the premier of a new movie being released about the amazing Monarch Butterfly. The New Zealand Monarch Butterfly Trust is trying to get the movie released throughout the country. As a school with a butterfly garden and a Bird and Bug Team, we are interested in this project.

Our Maori Carving is unveiled!!
Today we had a lovely ceremony to bless our new Maori carving in the native bush Garden . The carving looks amazing in its new home. It will be a guardian for our Environment. We had students from the Senior school, Worm and Garden Teams and also MrsJeffery's class. Pohaere Knight led a blessing, followed by student Wiata and Haka. The Carver Trevor Nathan explained the significance of the design. Thanks to the Board of Trustees for their support and also Mrs Woon for all her effort in pursuing this fantastic outcome. We love our new carving.
Enviroschools Reflection Day
Four members of the Otonga Green Team recently attended a Reflection Workshop in Tauranga. We learnt about different ways to think about our progress as an Enviroschool. We are considering our strengths and weaknesses against the Enviroschools Guiding Principles as we look towards gaining Silver Level. It was cool to meet other students from Enviroschools in the Bay of Plenty and find out what they do in their schools.
Te Reo Enviro Show
Last week we had a cool show by the Kahurangi theatre group. They performed in Maori with English narration. They had an environmental theme where the performers fought against air pollution. It was very entertaining, with lots of laughs and action.
