At last the day had come; the day we find out where we had placed in the annual
MOTH POD COMPETITION!
For the last few months not only had our awesome team been out weekly collecting pods and roots but the whole school community. This year we had a record of 56 students and staff that brought pods and roots in for our school team!
Moth pod is an invasive weed with a very long vine that wraps around trees and strangles them. The flower sap kills butterflies and bees before growing into a pod that contains hundreds more seeds.
We were very keen to go and remove as many as we could find!
Our goal: 10,000 pods and roots... Actual number: 15, 909

The prize giving this year was at Bucklands Beach - a beautiful setting.
We were very excited to finish SECOND school behind Howick College!
We received some prize money and everyone in our team received an awesome pin badge.

We also received certificates for being first at the halfway point and being the school team that pulled out the most seedling plants. |
