Zero Waste Awards

These awards recognise those doing great things to help Auckland achieve its vision of zero waste by 2040.

We are very excited that we were nominated for an award in the category of 'Growing the Movement'.

To date we have collected 95kg of rubbish and diverted 85.5kg from landfill. 

This is by collected and sorting waste at our school events such as discos, sausage sizzles and school picnics. The PTA have been awesome at supporting with us and many students are now having wrapper free lunches and composting their lunch rubbish. 



We were not the overall winner but we so proud to be nominated! 

Unfortunately Miss Long couldn't go but Mrs Callister went along and had a great evening hearing many inspirational stories.
