ENVIRO GROUP TREE PLANTING

The Enviro Group has been busy over the planting season. Lemon, lime and mandarin trees have been planted between T-block and C-block so they can be used by Food Technology classes and students in future. These were bought using money from our successful cake stall.We also had native trees donated by a BC parent of ex-students and have added these to the planting area behind the Wharenui.

INTERNATIONAL HOST FAMILIES NEEDED

Birkenhead College is seeking local families to host International Students.

We are looking forward to hosting overseas students once again at the school. An integral part of their NZ stay is to live with a local family and participate in family life, which is an important aspect of the total student experience.

International students also offer valuable cultural interaction for you and your family - many families have made lifelong friends as a result of hosting!

Host families are asked to provide a room, three meals a day, Wi-Fi connection and to assist with transport from time to time, for which $300 per week will be paid. All members of the household aged 18 years and older are required to complete a Police Vet check via the school.

If you would like to know more, please contact: Nataliya Novak or phone 09 483 9039, Ext 838
