Learners plan and lead real-world projects that make a difference in their community — such as reducing waste, restoring habitats, or improving local water quality. Each project connects directly to the Social Sciences and Science learning areas, encouraging Participating and Contributing and Relating to Others. Schools can tailor the project to their local curriculum and apply for small-scale funding or community partnerships.
Since 2020, this Auckland Council-supported initiative has empowered schools across the Howick area to understand and reduce their carbon footprint. What began with student-led waste minimisation projects has grown into a comprehensive programme supporting carbon measurement, climate action planning, and integration into everyday teaching.
In the 2025/2026 fiscal year, we’re proud to extend support to 25 local schools, offering practical tools, workshops, mentoring, and funding to turn climate learning into meaningful action.
This expansion is made possible thanks to the generous funding from the Howick Local Board and the continued support of Enviroschools.
We aim to support schools in reducing their environmental impact.
Our 2025–2026 goal is to achieve a 40% reduction in waste.
We also encourage each school to set their own realistic and measurable targets for reducing energy and water use, based on their own waste and carbon audits and action plans.
