Burnside Primary school awarded by Keep Christchurch Beautiful
Burnside Primary school was recently awarded by Keep Christchurch Beautiful for being part of the programme for 25 years, ever since the inception of the programme.
The citation reads, "Burnside Primary is one of only two schools that have been participants in our Schools Environment Programme every year since its inception in 1994. Burnside Primary will receive one of the first 25-year long service certificates presented, at the end of year schools awards ceremony in November. We applaud Burnside Primary School’s dedication to all things environmental."
It was nice of Star Media to carry this is Western News and Nor'West News - one with my photo and one without!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
