Enviroschool

 We have achieved a Bronze Award as an Enviroschool and pride ourselves on promoting sustainability and ecologically sound practices. We embrace the Enviroschools philosophy, fostering a deep and lasting connection to our environment in our tamariki (students).

We believe that environmental education is not just an academic subject, but a fundamental part of who we are and how we learn. As an Enviroschools school, we:

Empower our students: We provide opportunities for our tamariki to actively engage in environmental projects. They learn to identify local environmental issues, plan and implement solutions, and become empowered as life-long change-makers.

Connect with our place: We encourage our students to explore and understand the unique environment of Hora Hora, its people, and its history.

Foster holistic learning: The Enviroschools journey cultivates a deep sense of responsibility towards the environment, while also developing valuable personal and social-emotional skills such as empathy, teamwork, and critical thinking.

Embrace ako: We believe in the power of shared learning. The Enviroschools approach emphasises the importance of 'ako', where everyone – students, teachers, parents, and the wider community – is both a learner and a teacher.

Through our Enviroschools programme, we aim to cultivate a thriving learning environment that nurtures both academic and environmental excellence. We invite you to join us on this exciting journey of environmental learning and action.
