Sustainable Education
Tauranga Region Kindergartens has endorses education for sustainability (EfS). This means we are working to operate the educational programme, and our kindergartens in a sustainable manner.
Education for sustainability was initially adopted by Papamoa and Papamoa Coast Kindergartens which have been actively involved in the National EnviroSchools Programme since 2005.
In 2008 they were both awarded silver medals for their efforts. In 2008 Tauranga Kindergartens endorsed that programme and many other kindergartens have since joined. Teachers can readily network with others to share ideas and collaborate on programmes.
Endorsing EfS means that all our kindergartens and the administration are on board with sustainability and resources will be provided to support their journey. It will provide an opportunity to create a difference for our environment by focussing on sustainability practices for children, whanau and local communities.
We recognise that need through our educational programmes to build an awareness of the growing global issues facing future generations.
If you wish to make a contribution to EfS, please email Marion Dekker on trfka.st@xtra.co.nz.
