Imagine a generation of innovative and motivated young people, who instinctively think and act sustainably. It is a vision that is already becoming a reality for some schools through involvement in the Enviroschools programme.
Enviroschools is a whole school approach to environmental education. With support from the school community, students plan, design and take action to create a sustainable school environment.
What is a sustainable school?
The Enviroschools Programme integrates environmental education into the whole of school life, creating learning opportunities by working towards a healthy, peaceful and sustainable environment.
The Enviroschools Programme in Northland
The Enviroschools programme is available to all schools in Northland. The North’s Enviroschools programme is run jointly through the Northland Regional Council and the Ministry of Education facilitation arm, TEAM Solutions. The Department of Conservation also contributes funding to Enviroschools facilitation in Northland.
In Northland, over 30 schools are currently on the pathway towards creating sustainable school environments. They are all working at their own pace to achieve a range of sustainability actions, with some choosing to go for awards along the way.
The following schools receive support through facilitation, resources, professional development and a nationwide network of schools.
