The Midhirst community has come together to help its local school.
On Thursday, Midhirst School hosted a working bee. Teacher in charge Jasmine Webster says pupils and parents worked on three environmental projects.
“With the community’s help we’ve created a bottled greenhouse, weeded and beautified our bike track area and also prepared our forest garden for māra kai (gardening for food).”
Central Taranaki Enviroschools facilitator Sue Rine was at the working bee to help with the projects.
“It’s great to see the kids involved in these significant school projects. They are taking a hands-on learning approach, which gives them a sense of ownership to the initiatives they are involved in.”
