Ellen Theobald, co-leader of Renwick School's 'Green Ferns' enviro group, wrote this article to tell us about the school's recent Enviro Week activities. Our Green Ferns organised a really fun Enviro Week to coincide with the Climate Strikes and the work done by Climate Karanga and George Varney (Climate Youth Action Team) at the tree planting opportunity that was offered to schools.

At the end of last term, Riverlands School got the whole school involved in celebrating Earth Day 2018!
Despite it being the shortest day of the year, students at all three Marlborough colleges celebrated 'Bike to School Day' last week. Students who travelled to school by bike, foot, skateboard or bus were rewarded with hot drinks and prizes. Three Queen Charlotte College students biked all the way from Havelock, picking up another cyclist from Momorangi Bay along the way (pictured above)! Top marks for dedication, people! Thank you to our environmental leaders at Marlborough Girls' College, Marlborough Boys' College and Queen Charlotte College for making a difference by organising the celebrations and encouraging their classmates to consider using environmentally-friendly transport to get to school. We can't wait to see what else you have planned for...
