“We are the only Silver Enviroschool on the entire West Coast, so we are all very proud of our entire learning community, especially our amazing tamariki,” says Teacher, Nina Reesen-Fischer.

The kindergarten celebrated their accomplishments with a small hui and kai.

“It feels great to be leading our region into Silver with Enviorschools,” says Kidsfirst Karoro Head Teacher, Tim Eden-Calcott.

“Next, we’ll be able to showcase our place with other Enviroschools too, with a special cluster meeting organised to highlight some of the wonderful things we’ve been doing.”

“We are extremely proud of your achievement,” says Kidsfirst CE, Sherryll Wilson. “What a wonderful way to end a very busy year.”

Congratulations Kidsfirst Karoro!

Our tamariki and our environment - true taonga (treasure).
