The Team

Muritai gets solar panels.

Muritai School is really lucky to be the first schools in Wellington to become a Schoolgen school and have solar panels installed.

Schoolgen is a programme developed by Genesis Energy (one of New Zealand's largest energy retailers and electricity generators) to bring solar energy to life for children across New Zealand. They want to bring solar energy to life in a fun, exciting way to children because young people are our future leaders and decision makers.

Genesis Energy has funding for Schoolgen to bring solar panels to 56 schools across New Zealand by 2010.

It is so exciting to be one of these school and even more exciting is that Muritai School has been chosen as the school to launch this programme in the Greater Wellington region with a grand opening on the 17th of February.
