Planting at Lake Ngatu

 As part of the reforestation and clean up project undertaken by DOC, we were asked to help plant some Kanuka and Manuka trees around Lake Ngatu. As Kaitiaki of the lake we also walked around the lake collecting rubbish and having a general clean up, showing our school value of Kaitiakitanga. Our students show a lot of pride in keeping our lake clean and protecting the ecosystems, plants and animals that call Lake Ngatu home. 

Soccer with James
