Meet Mako and Angus...
I want to acknowledge these two today and the hard work that they have been putting in behind the scenes at our school. At the beginning of this term these two awesome young men kept turning up at the gardens and asking if they could help. Some of the things that they have achieved this term have included; empting the compost bin into the gardens and around the fruit trees, weeding and mulching in the orchard transforming it from an area that was geeting a tad overgrown to a lovely looking corner of our school and organinsing a team of helpers who empty the class compost bins every week. They have also been raking leaves and making sure that our scraps are covered with a brown layer so we can keep away pests and also to give our compost a good balance of nutrients. AS WELL as all of this...they have also been part of the team who have been beavering away in the shadehouse!!



These boys have been extremely hard working and self motivated often carrying out tasks I have asked them to do in their own time as well as coming up with ideas themselves.
Kau mau te wehi e tama! You really know what it means to be kaitiaki and you have really shown that you care about our environment!
