Moth Pod Mania!

To help rid the Howick area of pesky weeds we have, again, entered the 

HOWICK LOCAL BOARD MOTH POD COMPETITION. 

This is always a very popular event with our students who love to get behind this initiative; it's great to see the number we have collected going up and up! 


This year we have already collected over 10,000 pods and roots! 

This is a great environmental action that gets you outside and exercising as well as helping the environment! 

More than 1 in 10 of all our students have brought in moth pods.  Many, many more of the older students have been actively involved in searching for them at lunchtime, counting them and clearing them away after.
