DEVELOPMENT OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL CENTRE AT MANGEMANGEROA RESERVE

We have an amazing resource right on our doorstep at Somerville Intermediate School – the Mangemangeroa Reserve.

Mrs. Duffield has recently received this e-mail:

"I am working as part of a project team to help develop a concept for a possible environment centre located on the Mangemangeroa Reserve. We are at the early stages of the project but we felt it would be really valuable for us to talk with some of the groups who have had an ongoing relationship with the Reserve. Given we are only at the conceptual stage, what we would really like to spend a hour or so with a group of lovely students from Somerville Intermediate to get their input into what the design principles could be for the Environment Centre. We have put together a visual, inspirational presentation to get them thinking and then we would talk with them as a group to capture their ideas. I know from experience in doing this kind of things with other schools is that there will be no shortage of great ideas!"
