Milk for Schools Glamping Farm Experience

Earlier in the year when each class was learning about the processes and practices we have in place currently at Gore Main School, Room 6 learned about the Fonterra Milk for Schools programme and the recycling process the cartons go through.

Room 6 created this video to teach our community about the Milk for Schools recycling process and entered it in a Fonterra video competition to win a over night stay glamping on a dairy farm.

The videos went to a nationwide vote and....Room 6 won the South Island prize!

The prize included:

• Fully catered overnight stay on a Fonterra dairy farm near Edendale in a flash glamping teepee.
• Visit to the dairy shed to watch the cows get milked
• Visit to the Edendale Fonterra Factory and a tour around it
• Red band gumboots, milking overalls and other Fonterra merchandise 
• Plus lots of other cool games and experiences on the farm. 

Here is a video Room 6 created about their glamping experience

Room 6 had such a great time on our trip! They will remember the experience for ever. Now our Year 2 class (Room 6) are the milk monitors at Gore Main School. They are in charge of the Milk for Schools Programme and deliver the milk to the classrooms and then collect the empty cartons on Friday for recycling.
