Taranaki Environmental Awards 2013

On Thursday the 25th, in the school holidays,  Mrs Waite, Mrs Stark, Julia and Xavier went to The Taranaki Regional Council Environmental Awards, at the Devon Hotel in New Plymouth.  It was a very posh occasion and we all felt very proud to represent our school in receiving an "Environmental award" in the education section.  Please come in to school and see the award and certificate which are on display in the front office.  We had a terrific evening.  Thank you to everyone who has helped us in this journey.

Bronze Environmental Award

On the 8th February Rachel the Coordinator for Enviroschools Taranaki came to Toko to present us with our Bronze award.  This was a high point for the school as to earn this award our school needed to show ccommitment to the Enviroschools project, and that we were taking steps in the whole school environment, and in teaching the children about caring for the environment around them.   This was a huge achievement to have been able to fulfill the criteria within such a short time frame.  Lots of thanks to everyone in the community who has given time, expertise, equipment and support since we became an enviroschool.  Our exciting journey is just beginning.
