Our Ngahere (Bush)
In 2021 Myross Bush School designed and planted our very own Ngahere (bush) with the support of our community. In 2022, the Pou (pillars) added to the entranceway to tell "our story". We held a special Dawn Assembly to celebrate Matariki and bless our new Pou (pillars) with our community and supported by the Waihopai Rūnaka.
The vision is to have our own place to grow and protect Kahikatea trees. This project has evolved and we now aim to create a native ecological corridor connecting the nearby QEII covenants, Johnston Bush and Kerr Bush. This aligns with the newly formed Te Haumanutia o Myross Bush – a community led group who are keen to take action to help native species thrive in our backyards which our school is supporting.
The Ngahere also serves as an outdoor learning space where students can be involved in planting, seed collection, and growing native plants, developing the students understanding of environmental stewardship which links to our school value - Te Papa Atawhai.
