SGHS Break out day 13 April 2021

On 13 April 2021, Bronwyn, Mark, Linda, Ray and Chris joined the Otatara Landcare Group hosting 150 SGHS students at Bushy Point, as part of their Year 7 community break out days. The day included learning about pests, seed collecting and planting trees, and learning about birds in our forests. While it was a bit wet at times, the girls were interested and enthused and had a lot of fun. Big thanks to those that helped with this day, and to the Year 7 girls for helping with the restoration of Bushy Point. OLG Chair Barry Smith did a great job overseeing the planting of almost 200 native plants and Lloyd took nature walks while Walter and Neville from ES took pest control groups. A few students are looking forward to the annual planting day at Bushy Point on Saturday September 11th – check out www.otataralandcare.org.nz/news-events/
