Enviro Schools to start up again!!

Exciting news!! Our West Melton School Enviro Group is set to start up at the beginning of next term. Applications to be a member are currently open and expressions of interest can be forwarded to Mrs McHarg. Last Friday Toni Watson, a representative from Enviro Schools, talked to both the Kiwi and Moa teams about school gardens and ways that our students can get involved in looking after our school and community environment.
The Enviro Schools group will be another great opportunity to be involved in an extra-curricula activity at West Melton School. If this interests you , see Mrs McHarg for an application form!!

At the beginning of Term 4 group members will meet along with a team of Enviroschools facilitators, parents and teachers, to begin the next stage of the group's development.
