Green/Gold Award presentation!
On Friday the 15th of June, Gore Main School received their new sign that identifies them as a Green/Gold Enviro-School! The sign was presented by Pat Hoffman (Enviro-Schools coordinator Southland). The whole school was involved in the presentation and were organised into a diamond shape (a STAR was too difficult!). The Enviro-Council kneeled on either side of the front peak and Mrs M accepted the sign on behalf of Gore Main School, and the Enviro-Council. After the presentation Pat Hoffman and Tania (comms team Environment Southland) took photos and interviewed the Enviro-Council. The Enviro-Council spoke about their next steps. It was a great presentation and afternoon!

Treemendous Trees Makeover
The Enviro-Council is in the process of applying for a $10,000 Treemendous Trees makeover! It is an application process and the best application wins! We hope it is Gore Main School!
The Enviro-Council made a video to talk about and show our plan. The Enviro-Council want to build board walks from the Adventure World entranceway to the different learning locations around Adventure World, i.e., the Hen Hilton, the vegetable gardens etc. These pathways would be raised up and might even be able to have a bridge! There would be signposts to show people the way. On either side of the board walk pathways there would be native plantings that would attract bugs and insects for our hens and for our learning. The reason pathways was selected by the council was because pathways can be used to represent the beginning, middle and end of learning journeys and they can go off in different directions (a bit like learning)! In an old area (that used to be a trench) we want to make a seating area with native plantings around it for children to relax in. Fingers and toes crossed everybody.
Here is our video application for the Treemendous Trees makeover!
