We think about ourselves and others and how our actions can affect our planet and living things. We are role models to others, our community and people we meet by making good decisions to protect our planet from extinction. We keep making changes and improvements in what we do. For example, we pick up rubbish everyday but we are looking at other long term solutions. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">We need to respect other people and their cultures so they will help us protect the environment. An example of showing respect for diversity is when we use sign language in our morning karakia. We respect people with different abilities and make changes in our school and our classroom to help them. We enjoy learning about other people and cultures. </span><br />

Last year a group of talented students worked with local artist Charlotte Steark to create this beautiful mural in the Education Pavilion in Secret Valley.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zpXP2sn9Z2s/WQmkzY3cSSI/AAAAAAAABGA/j2iMHguekdQpvH2um-uVHbzYKUET2QZTgCLcB/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2017-05-01%2Bat%2B5.10.27%2Bpm.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zpXP2sn9Z2s/WQmkzY3cSSI/AAAAAAAABGA/j2iMHguekdQpvH2um-uVHbzYKUET2QZTgCLcB/s400/Screen%2BShot%2B2017-05-01%2Bat%2B5.10.27%2Bpm.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The walls were transformed with designs depicting local flora and fauna. There is also a seascape with a sustainability theme (marine reserves, food chain and sustainable fishing). <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">It was thought the formerly white walls could be a target for graffiti.

One of the five key principles of Enviro Schools is <b>Sustainable Communities</b>. As an Enviro-School w<span style="font-family: inherit;">e try to live in a sustainable way – looking after the planet and ourselves. We encourage others to join us and we aim to be role models and teachers for the people around us. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Another key principle is <b>Respect for Diversity of People and Culture.</b> One way we upheld this principle was by drawing our artists from across the school community. All ages were represented. This is important as we want our senior students to develop leadership experience to take as they move on to college. We also want our junior students to develop and bring their experience through the school as they grow.</span></span><br />

For those not familiar with Secret Valley, it is a small bush area in the gully created by Waimapihi Stream. It sits between the railway line (near the Pukerua Bay Railway Station) and Takutai Road.<br />
<br />
Around 1997 this area was restored by local community groups. It contains a walking track, several small bridge and the education centre. Pukerua Bay School students have previously been involved in <a href="http://prbes.blogspot.co.nz/2013/09/ra-roa-reserve-clean-up.html">cleaning up rubbish in this area</a>. The school hopes to be involved in future developments in this area, including developing signage. <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">Some of the exciting ideas the group discussed at their first meeting on Friday 9th March include: </span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Developing a new climbing area and swings</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having an area for digging</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Developing the Bike Track idea that was first suggested last year</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A duck pond, water park or water area under the boat</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">More outdoor tables around the school</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New posters and signage around the school</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Developing access to the stream which borders the school.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We look forward to seeing what this group comes up with over the year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the meantime, the next few blog posts will celebrate some of our fabulous student-led initiatives from 2016.</span><br />

In the spirit of Conservation Week, Kea Syndicate spent Thursday afternoon cleaning up the litter that has been building up around the school. We focused on Rawhiti Road and Wairaka Road, the Zigzag and the track to the shop. And what a success it was. We collected bags and bags of rubbish from chippie packets and cans, to tyres and glass bricks. Thank you for your wonderful effort Kea Syndicate. The local environment will appreciate it too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a great reminder to put your rubbish in the bin!</div>

<br />
<ul>
<li>We have got going with the envirogroup and meet weekly to get out hands dirty and make a difference. </li>
<li>We have dug up and spread compost. </li>
<li>We have sown seeds and planted seedlings for the edible garden</li>
<li>We have replanted the herb/flower garden outside te Motu. </li>
<li>We have planted skink friendly plants in the skink garden. </li>
<li>We have made native species art with Margaret Tolland from Pataka</li>
<li>We have made anti-rubbish posters and put them up around the community.</li>
<li>We have shared our ideas with Mayer Nick Leggett</li>
<li>We have played at least 198 games of the Cloak of Protection</li>
<li>We have made awesome worm boxes for selling our worms in </li>
<li>We have picked up rubbish around the school</li>
<li>We have participated in a community clean up</li>
<li>We have shown 83 students from St Francis Xavier what it is like to be an Enviro School.</li>
<li>We have made anti graffitti advertisements for the Fair Go Advertisement Competition.</li>
<li>We have made plans for next term and beyond</li>
<li>And most importantly we have worked together.</li>
</ul>
<div>
We really need to thank Gay Hay, Cath and Mariane for helping out every Thursday and for working so wonderfully with the envirogroup children. Also thank you to Peter Gilberd from Trees for Survival for donating his time, plants and knowledge in the skink garden. Thank you to Mayer Nick Leggett and Bill Inge from PCC for their support with the posters and the community clean up. </div>

Game week this week...so far we have played 125 games. The prizes we have won are gardening labels, gardening gloves, some seeds and a gardening tool. We were also lucky enough to have JiL Hemming visit. JiL is the creator of the game and enjoyed being beaten by Max! It was great to be able to ask her questions and to share our enthusiasm. Thanks for coming JiL and thanks for designing such an exciting and educational game.</div>

We have a problem!Rawhiti Reserve is a dumping area for rubbish. The students of Ra Roa went for a walk with Ted Coates, Gay Hay and Dave from Porirua City Council Education as well as Dagma Pessendorfer.<br />
We discovered a huge amount of dumped rubbish including old water tanks, ovens, plastic, asbestos and green waste.<br />
The children were horrified and felt very sad that a place they could build huts and play in was being treated so badly.<br />
We have decided we are going to do something about it!<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ra Roa and Te Motu were invited to visit Trash Palace, Poly Palace and the Spicer Landfill. The trip was funded by the Porirua City Council and was very educational. Bobby our tour guide was very informative. We learned lots of new things including</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Polystyrene can be recycled into insulation for houses</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Methane and leachate from the landfill is dangerous and is collected and dealt with</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">That different plastics have different purposes when they are recycled</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">That we should reduce, reduce, reduce, reduce, reuse, reuse and them recycle. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Recycling takes energy</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">New Zealand produces the equivalent of 1000 buses of rubbish every day! </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Glass is sorted into colour, Plastic into number and Steel into type for recycling. </li>
