Enviroschools

Enviroschools / science is an area of major importance for Fairlie Primary School.  For children and young people Enviroschools can be a lifelong journey from early childhood, to primary, intermediate, secondary and beyond.  For schools and centres we support long-term participation; lasting changes can take many years to become embedded but every step is a change in itself. 
Every Enviroschool follows a unique journey that:

• Develops from small beginnings and gathers strength and breadth along the way
• Empowers tamariki and students
• Builds sustainable communities
• Integrates into the curriculum; both Te Whāriki and the New Zealand Curriculum
• Is grounded in Māori Perspectives
• Embraces cultural diversity
• Engages in the physical, social, cultural and political aspects of the environmen
• Builds towards being a whole-school/ centre approach.
