From Event to Action: Exploring the Impact of a Waste Minimisation Learning Day
The purpose of this event was to bring together teachers and student Envirogroups from across the eastern Coromandel to explore waste minimisation, share ideas, and be inspired to take action in their own schools. We wanted participants to gain a deeper understanding of waste — where it ends up, the impact it has on the environment, and what a shift towards more circular systems could look like.
Sensory garden creates a calm, safe and supportive space
It became clear that Mercury Bay Area School needed a space where all children could feel calm, safe, and supported — a space designed with intention. And so, the idea of a sensory garden was born. This sensory garden is more than just a physical space. It has been a years’ worth of student-led learning.
