THANK YOU to Howick Local Board

Toady we were every excited to have some visitors from Sunnyhills Primary School; Mrs Daniels and some of their eco leaders. As their school is a Green Gold Enviro School we were keen to impress!
We created a map with all our enviro areas.
During their visit we showed them...
* Our 'Traffic Light Bin' system and other waste minimisation initiatives (like the class enviro challenge)
* Our Garden to Table programme and the veggies gardens - we also handed out some cookies made yesterday as part of Chinese language week,
* How we minimise waste and use natural resources through our compost systems and the water tank,
* Ways we are trying to restore the natural environment with tree planting and our native garden,
* Our lizard lounge to attract native skinks,
* Our 'Green Room' - our hub for meeting, recycling and brainstorming ideas!
To celebrate Chinese language week we have made dumplings and sesame cookies this week in Garden to Table.
They were both really delicious and the students all loved making them.
Some students showed they had a really talent for dumpling making!
We put our own "HPS twist" on the dumplings adding cabbage, carrot, onion and bok choy.
There was some excellent chopping going on!
