ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL CLEANS UP AT PIHA A keen group of environmentalists met at North Piha on Saturday morning to spend time combing the beach and dunes for rubbish. Led by Mrs Lamb, Mr Stephens and Ms Visser, the group collected a huge pile of debris, including rope, socks and other clothing, jandals, plastic bags and 15 bottles of beer (one full!). The clean up event starts off the Environmental Council's campaign to raise awareness at Avondale College around our rubbish and where it ends up if not disposed of properly. Tuesday's Homeroom lesson addressed the issue of litter in school and in Week 10 the students will be holding lunchtime events to highlight the use of plastics in our every day lives. This will be followed up next term with a visit from Hayden Smith (local New Zealander of the Year 2016) who trawls the Hauraki Gulf for rubbish every day.
thursday 30 march 7-9pm theatre
If you are in Year 9 to Year 13, come and be informed and inspired as you explore the different tertiary options available to you! There will be short presentations from liaison staff from various tertiary institutes and from ex-Avondale College students now studying at these institutes.
