We have hit our goal, but will still use additional donations to increase the number of trees and plants around our Marae and Fale - if you want to donate, PLEASE DO!!!! ALL money will be used for the same purpose!

The students of Room 5 would like to leave a graduation legacy behind that supports, promotes and maintains our school value of sustainable living. Students at MIS work in our school gardens and use the food grown for school needs.

We are raising money to purchase food trees to be planted in/around our new Marae and Fale complex that is opening this term.

We require (at the very least):

plum trees
fig trees
avocado trees
tamarillo trees
nikau palms

Also because of our Pacific Islander population (our school is almost all island families), we are looking to plant:

frangipani trees
hibiscus trees
taro shrubs
other flowering shrubs that support pollination

Any money over and above our goal will be used to purchase MORE fruit/food plants to help supply the Marae and Fale with school-grown foods.

With this effort, our students get involved, leave behind sustainable foods for future siblings and family members going to Manurewa Intermediate, as well as a legacy of giving back.

Aroha, and thank you very much for your support! Please SHARE this page with anyone you know that could help!

I think that our sevice went smoothly and I think as a class we did really well to get the money for our school. $800 will provide things for our community and enviorment for the future of our school. The year 8s are leaving behind something for our school.

So far our service has been really successful and we've passed our target by a bit. We achieved our goal and I'm grateful that we had/have 17 donors (supporters) helping us make a more sustainable environment. Now that we can get our plants it will help our school provide fruit and we'll be able to grow some amazing plants in the school gardens. This will help us make a better future for the future generation of Manurewa Intermediate (M.I) students.

In the future I think that our school is going to be beautiful and the whare is hopefully still gonna be there and the whare Kai be used to cook for school event the whale can be used for shade or for timeout from something

Very soon they will be officially opened by the Education Minister and the whole school community. Can't wait! Thanks for keeping those donations coming - WE CAN STILL COLLECT MORE!!!! 17 days to go!!!
