Yesterday on the fifth of November 2008, Mr Eames, Mrs Berry, Ned, Phoebe and I, went into Wellington, to the Greater Wellington Regional Council meeting room. Muritai School got through to the finals of The 2008 Environmental Awards- Meridian School Sustainable Project Award.
A few weeks after being nominated for the award, some council members came to our school, for a walk around, so we showed them around, all the projects, and the progress.
They said they were impressed, and they would get back to us (Muritai). So they did. During the awards the three schools which had made it to the finals were waiting patently, for a winner. The award went to Fernridge School, for their awesome part in the protection of the environment. We received a a merit certificate, and a baby Kowhai tree
We did really well to get into the finals, and next year we can hope to get our projects, finished, and we might even get the award.
