Enviro Feedback Wanted

Dear Parents/ Caregivers,

The group of children who are participating in Enviro this year have decided that the “Enviro area” needs to be more inclusive within our school. For the last few years we have had a small place at the back of the school designated for Enviro. We are thinking that part of our back field (near the senior school) would be a great place to have a larger, more inclusive/hands on enviro area. We have the orchard nearby and the native hill is already there. We understand that this is a huge project to undertake and that is why we are taking this year to consult our staff, students and you (the community). We want everyone to play a part in this to make this area the best that it can be.

We are at the stage that we are asking for ideas for what YOU think would be great in this area. Some ideas from the students and teachers (to help get your creative side flowing) are:

-climbing frames

-compost bins and worms bins accessible and properly run

-lots of smaller sized but raised veggie gardens (where we can rotate the harvest to put nutrients back into the soil)

-Flower gardens

-Recyclable art

-Maze

-Outside board games (chess/checkers etc)

We would love to hear what you would like to see in this area, your ideas of how to design it and creative ways to keep this area safe from potential vandalism.

Please complete the form below if you would like to contribute your ideas. You can also write your suggestions down and stick them on the display in the office foyer.

Thanks very much for your help with this,

Leigh Phipps (Enviro Co-Ordinator)
