Arbor Day Planting

Last week, the Enviro Leaders, along with Ruby K, planted fourteen new native plants in the Enviro Center. The whole school, along with Matua Clive, participated in a karakia and waiata. We hope these trees grow up to become healthy and strong.

Moaning Myrtle

In their last meeting, EnviroKura looked around the school for Myrtle Rust. Myrtle Rust is a fungus that is destroying feijoa, pohutukawa, manuka, and rata. It has supposedly been blown from Australia and it’s appearance is powdery dots of bright yellow/orange fungi which can be found on the underside of leaves. If you see any of this plant fungus at school or in the local environment please inform a teacher or call 0800 80 99 66.

Free Pots Sale

EnviroKura decided to 'recycle' the many pots we have stored in our plant nursery. We decided to give away pots to the parents and children of Oakura School. We have lowered the number of pots we have, but if you need more, just ask Mr Smith.
