Our last Day

Today is our last day in Leadership and Communication as it is the last day of term.
I have totally enjoyed this class and have had a lot of fun.
I have learnt more about pollution then I already know and that the Hautapu is has a rating of poor.
We have succeeded in our goal of trying to raise awareness in the community by putting posters around town, writing to various newspapers and creating a movie.
I hope that we have made an impact and people will think before they do things that may pollute the river.

Class Field Trip


Today we went on a class trip to Byfords Readimix and Hautapu Pine to see if they polluted the river.


Our first stop was at Byford Readimix we found out that they recycle all of their waste and re use it.


Second we went to Hautapu pine and all of their chemicals that they treat their pine with goes into a pond that gets emptyed every three years.


According to the man we spoke with at Hautapu Pine they dont pollute the Hautapu river.


We also went for a drive out to Mataroa a little village north of Taihape to Paengaroa Reserve to go for a walk to see the river it seemed really clean and clear to me.

We had a nice trip and found out alot of new things we didnt know.
