School Community have YOUR say!
Our Enviro Vision!
As part of our Enviro programme we need to decide on a whole school statement to drive and guide what we do.
In term 1, Room 4 completed a workshop that looked at the Enviroschools Guiding Principles and examples of vision statements from other schools. Below is the vision statement that Room 4 wrote for our school.
At Wainui Beach School, we care for each other and respect and sustain the environment.
Now, we want to know what YOU think...
Does this statement cover it for our school? Do you think this statement sums up how we operate and and what we are trying to achieve in our Enviro programme?
Things we considered in making our statement...our school values...RESPECT and RESPONSIBILITY. And the Enviroschool Guiding Principles...
Sustainable Communities
Learning for Sustainability
Empowered Students
Respect for the Diversity of People and Culture
Māori Perspectives
A good Enviroschools programme, involves the whole school community. Please have your say about our vision statement by leaving a comment below. Thank you!
Dear Enviroschools team, thanks for your ongoing hard work and thinking how we can in incorporate what we are doing into a new statement. You may not be aware that the parent survey this year was on our Vision, Mission and Values as well as our Strategic Goals. We had a lot of replies and Mrs Andrew and I have reviewed them and will be reporting the findings to the Board on the 7th. Perhaps you should have a look at these and include an Enviroschools aspect in the statements as I am concerned that another statement might be somewhat confusing - where would it be used when would it be used and how would it be used as opposed to our existing statements? Perhaps you have thought of this already and if so maybe share that with Mrs. Andrew and myself so that we can put it to the Board for a decision to be made on what changes are needed. We love the Enviroschools initiative and believe that it should be part of our School Statements so please let us have your thoughts! Ailsa
