Student participation event
This year our Environmental Education team have taken a focus on the Enviroschools key area of People and Participation. As part of this focus they held a student participation afternoon.
They held the event earlier this term with over 60 students from Marlborough schools taking part. It was aimed at primary school student Envirogroup leaders. With World Environment Day coming up, activities were developed and then set up to get students thinking about what activities they could do in their schools to highlight World Environment Day as well as have a bit of fun doing them.

- Making bags from old t-shirts
The activities consisted of making seed bombs, recycled t-shirt bags, a recycling relay and a water race. Each activity had good instructions and information that students could learn on the day. They could then also take them back to run at their schools with a bit of support from their teammates and teachers. Some students also got a tour of Fairhall School while others made a container/bag from newspaper. Envirogroups took seed bombs to plant back at school as a reminder of the participation day.
