"The trapping is hugely popular, they really enjoy it."
Pupil Craig Carter, 11, said he loved that he could be outside in the bush as part of the enviro club while Hannah Kiernan, 10, liked knowing she was making the environment a better place.
"Our goal is to get rid of all the pests and make the environment better."
The group has also adopted 10 former battery hens which live behind one of the classroom blocks.
Hannah said she was surprised when the hens first arrived as many did not have feathers because of the conditions that they had been kept in.
Caleb Campbell, 11, said he loved seeing the reactions of other pupils in the school when they saw the chickens.
"I love seeing the little kids' faces when they see the chickens start flapping."
Doyle said the school had been selling the eggs to staff members to fund the project but had also received a $1000 grant from Kiwibank with support from Predator Free NZ.
The group has also spent time in the classroom learning about native birds and the Government's Predator Free 2050 goal.
It plans to take the learning outside even further through an outdoor classroom.
"We'll be doing everything like maths and reading but outside in the fresh air," Craig said.
