Caretakers attend Enviroschools workshop

 

Sixteen participants from around Northland gathered in Kaipara for a special Enviroschools Northland caretaker workshop recently.

The Northland Regional Council played a key role in bringing En-viroschools north more than a decade ago in 2003 and there are now more than 70 northland schools in the popular programme.

The free day-long workshop at Dargaville Intermediate School investigated ways Northland caretakers could support their school's Enviroschools journey, with participants from as far afield as Kaeo exploring a range of sustainable practices and shared problems and solutions to school property management. There was also a focus on WaiNurseries, an Enviroschools project through which schools grow riparian plants."

The workshop had also looked at ways caretakers could involve students in their work where appropriate.

It is the third workshop held by the regional council is recent years and is specifically de-signed to recognise the value of caretakers, the role they play and en-courage them to incorporate some of the ideas children attending their schools may have to enhance their school environment.

Information about the Enviroschools pro-gramme is available at nrc.govt.nz/enviro-schools
